# Execute a Circuit

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/overview/) now.

[Catalyst Circuits](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/circuits/introduction/) allow you to define,
organize, and orchestrate a sequence of tasks to be carried out automatically. You can enable concurrent or sequential
executions of Catalyst functions in a circuit, and additionally include conditions, data, and paths in it and automate
the workflow.

> **Note:** Circuits is currently not available to Catalyst users accessing from the EU, AU, IN, JP, SA or CA data centers.

The sample code below illustrates executing a circuit by referring to its unique Circuit ID and passing key-value pairs
as the input JSON to the circuit. It also illustrates obtaining the circuit's execution details by referring to its
unique `Execution ID` saved in the execution history of the circuit.

The `circuit` reference used below is defined in the [component instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/nodejs/v2/serverless/circuits/get-a-component-instance/).

```javascript
//Executes the circuit by referring to its Circuit ID and passes the input JSON 
circuit.execute('195000000041001', 'sampleName', { name: 'Aaron Jones'}).then((result) => {
console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => console.log(err.toString())); 
//Written to Catalyst logs
//Returns the circuit's execution details by referring to the Circuit ID and Execution ID
circuit.status('195000000041001', '195000000043002').then((result) => {
console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => console.log(err.toString())); //Written to Catalyst Logs
//Aborts the circuit execution by referring to the Circuit ID and Execution ID
circuit.abort('195000000041001', '195000000043002').then((result) => {
console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => console.log(err.toString())); //Written to Catalyst Logs

```

A sample response that you will receive is shown below. The response is the same for both versions of Node.js.
