Visual Scenarios and Mapping

Design flows on a canvas with drag-and-drop modules; connect services and map fields with type-aware helpers that expose options clearly. Routers and filters branch logic cleanly as cases grow more complex. Inline previews show payloads at each step, and notes keep intent visible so teams understand why a scenario behaves as built. Common patterns become blocks you can drop anywhere, and color-coded paths keep complex branches legible while field validators prevent surprises.

Triggers, Webhooks, and Schedules

Start runs from app triggers, incoming webhooks, or time-based schedules. Throttles and queues smooth bursts to protect rate limits and downstream APIs during heavy traffic. Reusable connections share auth safely, and signing secrets verify webhook sources to block accidental or malicious calls. Calendars and CRON options cover flexible timing, with backoff strategies that respect API rules. Replay tools accept missed webhooks after outages, preventing duplicates during recovery.

Iterators, Aggregators, and Data Tools

Loop over arrays, chunk large sets, and aggregate results for reports or bulk updates that touch many records. Transform text, dates, and formats without bespoke code or fragile scripts. CSV and table helpers restructure data for sheets or warehouses, and lookup steps enrich records from CRMs or catalogs. Text and date helpers normalize messy inputs, and encoders prepare payloads for downstream services while batch writers push results to the right systems reliably.

Error Handling, Testing, and Logs

Catch errors with routes, retries, and fallback actions; simulate runs with sampled data; and inspect logs to debug quickly when something fails. Alerts notify owners when thresholds or failures occur so fixes are timely. Sandbox runs test changes without touching production, and diff views show exactly what a tweak alters in mapped payloads. Dashboards surface error rates and latency by module, helping owners prioritize fixes that raise reliability organization-wide.

Templates, Teams, and Governance

Start from templates for common use cases; share modules across scenarios; and manage roles for editors, operators, and viewers safely. Folders and naming rules keep environments tidy across teams. Secrets are stored centrally with rotation, and audit trails record edits and runs for compliance. Role-based access scopes credentials, while environment labels separate dev, test, and prod to avoid accidental edits. Enforced reviews keep changes consistent and reversible.
