Seven node types every
workflow you need

Each type maps onto a distinct workflow job. Trigger starts a run from an event, schedule, manual click, or internal signal. Action does the work send an email, create a record, call a service. Condition branches the flow on a check. Loop iterates over a list. Delay pauses for a duration or until a time. Transform reshapes data between steps. End marks the finish with a clean closing state. Together they cover every workflow shape a business will ever build.

Recommended but not required. Adding one makes the closing state explicit and gives you a clean place to set the final status, log the run, or fire a completion event. Most teams add End nodes on every branch because the explicit finish reads more clearly to whoever maintains the automation later, and the execution log shows cleaner runs when End is marked.

Every output from every earlier step is automatically available as a variable inside the current node's panel. Click any input, browse the variables panel that opens to the right, and pick a value. The reference inserts itself. You can also type the reference directly using the same syntax. Live validation checks every reference as you make it, so the panel tells you immediately if you pointed at a value that does not exist.

The validation engine checks every field while you type. Missing required values, malformed references, wrong formats, broken Transform expressions, and connections to unconfigured nodes. Every issue surfaces inline with a plain English message explaining what the platform needs instead, so the workflow either configures correctly or tells you exactly what to fix.

Click the test button inside any node's panel and the platform runs that single step against real data without saving. You can use a payload from a previous execution, paste a custom payload, or pick from a library of sample payloads matched to the trigger type. The test view shows input, output, timing, and any warnings the platform caught along the way.

Use an Action when you need to do something call a service, create a record, send a message. Use a Transform when you need to reshape data without doing anything external combining fields, formatting dates, splitting strings, calculating values. A Transform sits between two Actions when the output of one does not match the input of the next, and the guided expression builder makes reshaping a visual exercise rather than a code one.
