Quick Start

This guide walks you through creating and running your first workflow in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Create a New Workflow

1. Navigate to the Workflows page from the sidebar
2. Click "+ New Workflow"
3. Give your workflow a name (e.g., "My First Workflow")
4. You'll be taken to the visual workflow builder

Step 2: Add a Trigger Node

Every workflow starts with a trigger. Your canvas will have a Manual Start trigger by default.

The Manual Start trigger lets you run the workflow on demand with a single click.

Step 3: Add a Processing Node

1. Click "+ Add node" in the toolbar
2. Browse the available node types or search by name
3. Select Transform from the Core category
4. The node appears on the canvas

Step 4: Connect the Nodes

1. Hover over the Manual Start node to reveal its output handle (small circle on the right)
2. Click and drag from the output handle to the Transform node's input handle (left side)
3. An edge now connects the two nodes, showing data will flow from the trigger to the transform

Step 5: Configure the Transform Node

1. Click on the Transform node to open its configuration panel
2. Add a transform rule:
   • Operation: Set
   • Field: greeting
   • Value: Hello, World!
3. Close the configuration panel — your changes are saved automatically

Step 6: Run the Workflow

1. Click the Run button in the toolbar (or right-click a node and select "Run from here")
2. Watch the nodes light up in real-time as they execute
3. Once complete, click on the Transform node to view its output data

You should see the output: { "greeting": "Hello, World!" }
