Node Library
Seven node types that cover every workflow shape, each with a guided panel, live validation, field mapping, and a real data test.
The node library provides seven node types that cover every workflow shape: Trigger, Action, Condition, Loop, Delay, Transform, and End. Each opens the same guided panel with live validation, field mapping, and a real data test before save.
How it works
Browse the library, drop the node you need, and configure it in a panel that walks through each field in plain English with helper text, example values, and tooltips. Every value from an earlier step is available as a draggable variable you can map into the current node, and live validation checks each reference as you make it. Before saving, run the step in isolation against a real payload to see the input, output, timing, and any warnings exactly as they will appear in production. Every node type uses the same panel, so learning one teaches all of them.
Key capabilities
- Trigger nodes start a run from a webhook, schedule, manual click, or internal Worksbuddy event.
- Action nodes do the work, such as sending an email, creating a record, or calling a service.
- Condition nodes branch with if/else logic and fourteen operators, combinable with and/or.
- Loop nodes iterate over a list with an iteration variable, break conditions, and a safety net.
- Delay nodes pause for a duration or until a specific time, set in plain English.
- Transform nodes reshape data between steps through a guided expression builder.
- End nodes mark the finish with a clean closing state (recommended but not required).
- Live validation, click to insert field mapping, and a per step test against real or sample payloads.
Tips
Use an Action when you need to do something external, such as calling a service or creating a record. Use a Transform when you only need to reshape data, such as combining fields or formatting dates, between two Actions.
