What is a Workflow?
A workflow is an automated sequence of actions that executes when triggered. Workflows are built visually by connecting nodes together in the editor.Workflow Structure
Every workflow consists of:- Trigger - The starting point that initiates execution
- Nodes - Individual actions or operations
- Connections - Links that define the execution order
- Context - Shared data passed between nodes
Execution Flow
When a workflow runs:- The trigger node activates
- Each connected node executes in sequence
- Output from each node is added to the context
- Subsequent nodes can access previous outputs via variables
Workflow States
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Workflow is being edited |
| Active | Workflow is ready to run |
| Running | Workflow is currently executing |
| Completed | Workflow finished successfully |
| Failed | Workflow encountered an error |
Best Practices
- Keep workflows focused - Each workflow should do one thing well
- Use descriptive names - Name nodes and workflows clearly
- Test incrementally - Run and verify after adding each node
- Handle errors - Add error handling for critical operations
