Workflows

Workflows are the foundation of FlowMaestro. They let you build automations visually by connecting nodes on a canvas.

What is a Workflow?

A workflow is a series of connected steps that execute in sequence. Each step is a node that performs a specific action — like calling an API, transforming data, or making a decision.

Workflow Components

Every workflow consists of:

  1. Trigger — What starts the workflow
  2. Nodes — Individual steps that process data
  3. Edges — Connections that define execution order
  4. Variables — Data that flows between nodes
