Understanding Workflow Blocks

Blocks are the building pieces of your workflow. Each block does one specific job. Connect them together to automate tasks.

Types of Blocks

🚀 Trigger Blocks (How It Starts)

These blocks start your workflow:

• Manual: Click a button to start
• Schedule: Run automatically at set times (like every Monday at 9 AM)
• Webhook: Start when someone calls your URL
• Event: Start when something happens in your system

When to use: Pick Manual for testing, Schedule for daily tasks, Webhook to connect with other tools.

🧠 Logic Blocks (Making Decisions)

These blocks help your workflow think:

• Condition: Choose different paths (like "if age > 18, then...")
• Variable: Store information to use later
• Script: Write custom code (advanced)

When to use: Use Condition to make choices, Variable to remember data between steps.

🤖 AI Blocks (Smart Features)

These blocks add AI power:

• LLM Agent: Chat with AI, generate text, answer questions
• File Loader: Read and understand documents

When to use: Add AI when you need to understand text, generate content, or answer questions automatically.

🔗 Action Blocks (Getting Things Done)

These blocks do the actual work:

• HTTP Request: Connect to any web service or API
• Database: Save or get data from databases
• Email: Send emails automatically
• File Operations: Work with files

When to use: These are usually at the end of your workflow to take action on the data you've processed.

How Blocks Connect

1. Drag and drop blocks onto your canvas
2. Connect output of one block to input of the next
3. Data flows from left to right (or top to bottom)
4. Test your workflow to see data moving through

Quick Start Tips

• Start simple: Begin with 2-3 blocks, add more later
• Test as you go: Click the test button after adding each block
• Name your blocks: Give them clear names like "Check if Premium User"
• Check connections: Make sure arrows point the right way
