Wire the new path
Your new task needs to be connected to both gateways to become part of the parallel execution.
Two connections to make
- Hover over the parallel split gateway (first +) → drag an arrow to your new task
- Hover over your new task → drag an arrow to the parallel join gateway (second +)
Once connected, the split will activate your task alongside the other two, and the join will wait for all three before shipping.
> 💡 The join gateway is a synchronization point — it blocks until every incoming path has a token. Miss one connection and the process will hang forever waiting.
