What is a Flow?

A flow is a visual automation built by connecting nodes into a directed graph. Each node performs a specific operation, and connections define how data moves through the process. Key Benefits:
  • Visual design for complex automation logic
  • Clear data flow and dependencies
  • Built-in error handling and recovery
  • Real-time execution monitoring
  • Comprehensive analytics and observability
Flows are blueprints for automation—showing how operations connect and work together to accomplish tasks.

​
Key Concepts

​
Building Blocks

Nodes are the fundamental components of flows. Each performs a specific function—AI processing, data transformation, logic control, or external integrations.

Inputs & Outputs

Handle text, files, images, and structured data

Nodes

AI Processing, Data & Files, and Logic & Control

Integrations

Connect external services and APIs

Triggers

Automate with events, schedules, and webhooks

​
Data Flow

Connections between nodes define data movement. Typed connections ensure compatibility and prevent errors. Branching enables conditional logic and dynamic behavior.

​
Subflows

Reusable flows that function as single nodes within other flows. Encapsulate logic, define inputs/outputs, and maintain consistency across projects.

​
Running a Flow

The platform interface provides an intuitive way to execute and test your flows. You can:
  • Instantly run flows with custom input parameters
  • Monitor execution progress in real-time
  • Build and access detailed logs for debugging
  • Get immediate visual feedback during development
This method is particularly useful for iterative development and on-demand processing where immediate feedback is essential.

​
Analytics & Observability

All flows include comprehensive monitoring and governance:
  • Real-time Analytics - Execution metrics, performance data, and resource usage
  • Detailed Logging - Complete execution traces and debugging information
  • Evaluations - Manual and automated quality assessments
  • Safety Guardrails - Organization-level controls and compliance policies
  • Governance - Audit trails, access controls, and regulatory compliance
