Last Cached Value

Overview​

The Last Value Cache feature introduces two workflow activities:

  • GetLastValue
  • SetLastValue

These activities provide a simple key-value cache scoped per application.
They allow workflows to store and retrieve the most recent value associated with a specific key.

This is useful for maintaining lightweight state between workflow runs without requiring external systems.

When to Use These Activities​

Use the Last Value Cache when you need to:

  • Store the last processed timestamp
  • Track the last successful sync ID
  • Save the most recent event ID
  • Maintain a checkpoint between executions
  • Implement simple idempotency control
  • Compare current value with previously stored value

These activities are ideal for small pieces of state that must persist across workflow executions within the same application.

Scope and Isolation​

Values are scoped per:

  • Organization
  • Workspace
  • Application

Each application maintains its own isolated key-value entries.

Activity: GetLastValue​

If no value has been stored yet, the activity indicates that no record was found.
