Workflow Types
Five workflow architectures (graph based, step based, manual, scheduled, and event driven) that you can mix freely across one workspace.
Workflow types give you five architectures, each built for a different shape of work: graph based, step based, manual, scheduled, and event driven, all on one platform.
How it works
Match the architecture to the work, then build it once. Graph based workflows open the drag and drop canvas with the full node library; step based workflows open a linear editor with inline conditions. Trigger each workflow the way the work needs: a manual workflow runs when a teammate clicks a button, a scheduled workflow runs on a recurring timer, and an event driven workflow runs the moment a webhook arrives. A single workspace can run all five architectures side by side. Each workflow is built in one architecture, chosen at creation, and workflows can chain to each other to compose larger flows.
Key capabilities
- Graph based workflows for complex flows with branches, parallel paths, conditions, and loops on a visual canvas.
- Step based workflows for linear sequences that read top to bottom with inline conditions.
- Manual workflows that run on a button click, with parameters supplied through an auto generated form.
- Scheduled workflows on a recurring timer, with plain English for common patterns and cron syntax for the rest.
- Event driven workflows that fire on an incoming webhook from any external app, with the endpoint created automatically.
- Mix and chain architectures across one workspace; composition happens across workflows, not inside one.
Tips
Use graph based for complex branching, step based for short linear sequences, manual for on demand actions, scheduled for recurring jobs, and event driven for webhook reactions. Each architecture is optimized for its shape, so pick the one that fits the work rather than forcing a flow into the wrong mould.
Scheduled workflows use the same engine described in schedule triggers.
