Create a workflow from scratch

Create a Flowker workflow from a blank canvas by adding trigger, executor, conditional, and action nodes, then connecting them to shape the flow.

You can create a new workflow from scratch using the visual canvas editor. The workflow starts in Draft status and must be activated before it can be triggered.

To create a workflow:

1. Go to the Workflows page and click the + New Workflow button.

2. The Workflow Templates modal will open. In the left sidebar, select Blank Workflow and click the Create Blank Workflow button to start from an empty canvas.

3. A new workflow will be created and you will be taken to the visual canvas editor.

4. Enter a name for the workflow in the Workflow name… field.

5. Build your workflow by adding nodes to the canvas. You can add the following node types:

   • Trigger — defines the event that starts the workflow.
   • Executor — performs a specific operation (e.g., API call, data transformation).
   • Conditional — branches the workflow based on conditions organized in cases.
   • Action — performs a workflow-level action, such as setting the execution’s final output (set_output).

   To add a node, you can drag and drop, double-click, or click the plus (+) that appears when you hover over the node card.

6. Connect the nodes by dragging from one node’s output to another node’s input to define the execution flow.

7. Configure each node by clicking on it and filling in the required parameters in the side panel.

8. Click Save to save your workflow.

For a complete reference on canvas interactions, node configuration fields, and available triggers and executors, see Workflow Canvas.

The workflow will be created in Draft status. When your workflow is ready, you can activate it to make it available for execution.
