# Nodes

> Explore the building blocks of your workflows

Nodes are the building blocks of every workflow. Each node performs a specific action — generating AI text, sending an email, querying a database, or controlling the execution flow.

## Trigger Nodes

Every workflow starts with exactly one trigger. See the [Triggers](/triggers) page for setup details.

## Node Configuration

Click or double click any node to open its configuration panel. Common fields include:

* **Variable name** — How downstream nodes reference this node's output
* **Operation** — Which action to perform (for multi operation nodes)
* **Input fields** — The data the node needs to operate
* **Connection** — Which credential to use (for nodes requiring OAuth)

## Node Status

During execution, each node shows a status indicator:

| Status      | Meaning               |
| ----------- | --------------------- |
| ⏳ Pending   | Waiting to execute    |
| 🔄 Running  | Currently executing   |
| ✅ Completed | Finished successfully |
| ❌ Failed    | Encountered an error  |
