A workflow is an automation you build visually on a canvas. You drag nodes onto the canvas, connect them, and the plugin runs them in order, passing data from one step to the next. There is no code to write.
Every workflow is a chain that starts with a trigger and flows through one or more action steps:
Trigger -> AI or action nodes -> OutputThe three pieces
- Nodes are the steps. Each node does one job: start the workflow, call an AI model, publish a post, send an email, branch on a condition, and so on. See Nodes and Their Types.
- Edges are the connections between nodes. They set the order of execution and carry each step’s result forward to the next step. See Edges and Connections.
- Variables are how a later node reads an earlier node’s output, using friendly tag pills like
[Input from node-1]. See Data Flow and Variable Handling.
What a workflow can do
- Start manually, on a schedule, from a form submission, an inbound webhook, a WordPress event, an RSS feed, or another workflow.
- Draft and transform content with AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter.
- Branch with conditions, repeat steps with a loop, and pause for a person to review or approve.
- Publish posts and products, send email, write files, generate images and PDFs, call external APIs, and connect apps like Google Sheets and Slack.
How a workflow runs
When a workflow runs, each node executes in turn and hands its result to the next node through the edges you drew. You watch every step arrive in real time in the live execution panel.
You choose, per workflow, whether it runs Local (on your own server with your own API key, free) or Cloud (on the hosted engine with credits). See Execution and Scheduling.
