Workflow Components
Autom8 AI workflows are made up of nodes, connections, and optional annotations that give you full control over logic, automation, and AI-driven tasks.
Nodes
Nodes are the core building blocks of every workflow. Each node performs a specific task—like starting a process, calling an API, transforming data, or executing AI logic.
You can:
Start workflows using Trigger Nodes
Fetch, send, or process data with Action Nodes
Build your own custom nodes when needed
To add a node:
In a new workflow, click Add First Step to open the node panel
In an existing workflow, click the Add Node icon between steps
Node Types
Triggers: Start the workflow based on events (e.g. webhook, schedule, app events)
Actions: Perform tasks like sending data, transforming inputs, or triggering external systems
Node Controls
Hover over a node to:
Run it manually
Deactivate it
Delete or duplicate it
Access more options via the context menu
Node Settings
Each node can be customized with options such as:
Timeout controls
Error handling behavior (stop, continue, or route to error path)
Retry logic
Batch processing
SSL and proxy settings
You can also attach notes directly to any node for documentation or clarity.
Connections
Connections link nodes together and define how data flows through your workflow.
To connect nodes, drag from one node’s output to another node’s input.
To remove a connection, hover over the line and click delete.
Each connection ensures that output data is passed smoothly from one step to the next.
Sticky Notes
Sticky Notes help you annotate, explain, or organize your workflows—especially useful in collaborative or template-based flows.
You can:
Add a Sticky Note from the node panel
Edit notes with markdown (headings, bold, links, lists)
Resize, reposition, and color-code them
Layer notes behind nodes to visually group logic
Sticky Notes are a lightweight way to document and share the “why” behind your automation logic.
