Nodes
Building blocks of your automation workflows
What are Nodes?
Nodes are the building blocks of your workflow. Each node performs a specific action — sending an email, making an API call, processing data with AI, and more.
Node Types
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| AI | Text generation, summarization, classification |
| Communication | Send email, send Slack message |
| Data | HTTP request, database query, file operations |
| Logic | If/else conditions, loops, merge, filter |
| Integration | Third-party service connections |
Configuring Nodes
Click on any node in the canvas to open its configuration panel. Each node type has different settings — the panel guides you through what's needed.
Testing Individual Nodes
You can test any node independently by clicking the Execute Step button in its configuration panel. This runs just that node with sample data, so you can verify it works before running the full workflow.
