The canvas

The workflow canvas with several connected nodes
The workflow canvas

The canvas is where you build a workflow by placing nodes and connecting them with edges.

Building blocks

  • Nodes are steps: a trigger, an agent, a tool, a coordinator, an output action, and more. See the node types reference.
  • Edges connect a node's output to the next node's input, defining the flow.
  • The node config panel opens when you select a node, letting you set its options (for an agent node: the model, prompt, tools; or link it to a deployed agent).

Add, connect, configure

  1. Add a node from the palette.
  2. Drag from one node's handle to another to create an edge.
  3. Select a node to configure it in the side panel.

Save & Persistent

Save stores the workflow. The Persistent toggle in the toolbar marks a workflow as long-running — required for interactive workflows where an agent keeps chatting with a user instead of running once and finishing.

Run it

Press Run to execute the workflow and watch it in the run inspector — see Running a workflow.
