The Data Flow to be executed when this Action runs. Data Flows can be created and managed from Connections Builder.
If the selected Data Flow has Inputs, they will be listed in this property. For each Input to the Data Flow, an Airscript Expression may be provided. The Airscript Expression can be a function whose return type matches the Input's type.
When the selected Data Flow completes, the end result will be stored in the variable in Output Binding.
In this example, after the Data Flow action completes, if the Get Pets by Location Data Flow returns the string "Success!", the variable activityGroup.pets will now contain "Success!".
