The flow builder — how the canvas, the +-inserter, step cards, and the side panel fit together.
Three ways in, all from the New automation button on the Hub.
A top-to-bottom spine of step cards, starting at the trigger.
The builder lays your automation out as a vertical spine. The Trigger card sits at the top; every step you add appears below it in the order it runs. Branches fan out into lanes and rejoin at a Merge.
Add a step exactly where you want it.
Between every pair of cards is a small + connector. Hover the connector and it reads Add step after the step above it. Clicking it opens the step picker, and the new step drops in at that exact spot — you never have to add to the end and drag it up.
A searchable, editorial list of everything you can add.
The picker slides in from the side. There is a Search steps box at the top and a plain divided list grouped into sections, not a grid of colored tiles:
Every row carries a one-line “when to use” description so you can pick the right step without guessing.
Where a step is configured after you add it.
Selecting a card opens a side panelover the canvas with just that step’s options. Filling it out is what turns a placeholder into a finished step:
Two views of the same automation.
A toggle switches between two reads of the graph:
The choices that apply to the whole automation, not a single step.
