Inflight for Multiple Sources & Destinations

When you combine inflight: true with multiple sources or multiple destinations, Blnk records each leg as a separate inflight transaction linked to a root split ID.

Record split inflight

Using the queue
Skipped queue

From Blnk Core 0.15.0, inflight commit and void go through the queue by default.

To use the queue, set "skip_queue": false or omit skip_queue.

Record the split

Create a split transaction with "inflight": true:

curl -X POST "http://YOUR_BLNK_INSTANCE_URL/transactions" \
  -H "X-blnk-key: <api-key>" \

Read the response

The response returns immediately with status: "QUEUED" for the split request itself. Blnk then queues each leg separately for processing.The worker then records each split leg as a separate INFLIGHT transaction. Every leg, and any later commit or void child, shares the same meta_data.QUEUED_PARENT_TRANSACTION.

}

Store the queued parent

Save meta_data.QUEUED_PARENT_TRANSACTION from the create response.Use this ID, not the per-leg IDs in destinations, when you commit, void, verify, or refund the split.

Commit or void the split

Call Update inflight with the queued parent ID. Blnk commits or voids every pending inflight leg in one request.

Update inflight

PUT /transactions/inflight/{queued_parent_transaction_id}

curl -X PUT "http://YOUR_BLNK_INSTANCE_URL/transactions/inflight/{queued_parent_transaction_id}" \
  -H "X-blnk-key: <api-key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "status": "commit",
    "skip_queue": false
  }'

const response = await blnk.Transactions.updateStatus(
  '{queued_parent_transaction_id}',
  {
    status: 'commit',
    skip_queue: false,
  },
);

txn, resp, err := client.Transaction.Update(
  "{queued_parent_transaction_id}",
  blnkgo.UpdateStatus{
    Status: "commit",
  },
)

response = blnk.transactions.update_status(
  "{queued_parent_transaction_id}",
  {
    "status": "commit",
    "skip_queue": False,
  },
)

200 Queued

{
  "transaction_id": "txn_0b59f6e-6c4a-4efa-915c-526f77ef61ab",
  "status": "INFLIGHT",
  "queued": true
}

The worker creates an APPLIED or VOID child for each leg. Every child keeps the same meta_data.QUEUED_PARENT_TRANSACTION, so you can verify the whole split with webhooks or polling.

To skip the queue, set "skip_queue": true on create and on commit or void.

Record the split

Create a split transaction with "inflight": true and "skip_queue": true:

Read the response

The response returns with status: "INFLIGHT" for the split request itself. Blnk records each leg in the same request, not through a background worker.Each split leg is written as a separate INFLIGHT transaction. Every leg shares the same parent_transaction, the root transaction_id.

Store the root split ID

Save the root transaction_id from the create response.Use this ID, not the per-leg IDs in destinations, when you commit, void, or verify the split.

Commit or void the split

Call Update inflight with the root split ID. Blnk commits or voids every inflight leg in one request.

Update inflight

PUT /transactions/inflight/{transaction_id}

curl -X PUT "http://YOUR_BLNK_INSTANCE_URL/transactions/inflight/{transaction_id}" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

200 Skipped queue

  "status": "APPLIED",
  "parent_transaction": "txn_59347177-aa7e-d8ad-9f4f-d09628b32ec3"
}

The HTTP response reflects the first leg processed. Each leg’s APPLIED or VOID child links only to that leg’s inflight ID through parent_transaction.Nothing is shared across legs, so verify each leg separately with webhooks or polling.

Error handling

Structured errors are available from Blnk Core 0.15.0 and later.

Split inflight commit and void use the same Update inflight endpoint as single inflight transactions. Blnk returns 400, 404, and 409 when the request ID or state is wrong.

Code	When it happens
`GEN_CONFLICT`	A commit or void is already queued for the split parent (default queue path).
`TXN_NOT_FOUND`	The ID in the path is not the root split or queued parent.

404 Not Found

{
  "error": "Transaction with ID 'txn_f482a1b3-6c2d-4e89-a17b-3d5e8f2a1c94' not found",
  "error_detail": {
    "code": "TXN_NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "Transaction with ID 'txn_f482a1b3-6c2d-4e89-a17b-3d5e8f2a1c94' not found"
  }
}

To resolve the error:

Code	What to do
`GEN_CONFLICT`	Wait for the queued job to finish. See Verify with webhooks.
`TXN_NOT_FOUND`	Use the root `transaction_id` or `QUEUED_PARENT_TRANSACTION` from the create response, not a leg ID.

Other commit and void errors match Commit & void inflight - Error handling. See API error codes for the full catalogue.
