Introduction (Must Read)

The core building block of the flow builder

Steps are the core of the flow. Here, you create different steps and link them together within a flow. When a user enters a flow, the steps begin executing in the order specified by the linked path, based on the configuration you have set up.

We have 14 types of steps available to address almost all requirements from any industry around the world. Each step is given a unique color to identify easily when you have large steps on the canvas.

Step

Trigger HTTP API

Linking & Unlinking Steps

Steps can be linked to each other to make a relationship between them, wherever you are seeing a circle as shown below that means it is linkable to another step

Unlinking Steps

Duplicating a Step

Adding Comments to a Step

Comments help you to add information about what the step is all about, which helps you to refer to it later.
