Step 3: Create Your First Flow​

A Flow is a visual workflow that connects agents, triggers, and tools.

Option A: Start from a Template​

The fastest way to get started:

  1. Click "Browse Templates" on the dashboard
  2. Choose a template that matches your use case (e.g., "Customer Support Bot")
  3. Click "Use Template"
  4. Add your API credentials (e.g., Gmail, Slack)
  5. Test the flow using the built-in chat interface
  6. Save and deploy

Option B: Build from Scratch​

For custom workflows:

  1. Click "Create New Flow" on the dashboard
  2. The Flow Editor opens- a visual canvas for building your automation
  3. Add Nodes: Drag and drop nodes from the left panel:
    • Trigger: How the flow starts (Webhook, Schedule, Manual)
    • Agent: The AI brain that processes requests
    • Tools: External services like Gmail, Google Sheets, Slack
    • Logic: Decision nodes for branching and loops
  4. Connect Nodes: Draw lines between nodes to define the flow
  5. Configure Each Node: Click a node to set its properties

Step 4: Configure Your Agent​

The Agent Node is the core intelligence of your workflow.

  1. Click on the Agent Node in your flow

  2. Write a System Prompt:
    Define what the agent should do. Example:

    "You are a helpful customer support assistant. Answer user questions about our product using the knowledge base."

  3. Select a Model: Choose between high-reasoning (GPT-4o) or fast models (GPT-4o-mini)

  4. Add Tools (Optional): Connect external services the agent can call

  5. Connect Knowledge Base (Optional): Upload PDFs or documents for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

For detailed configuration options, see the Agent Documentation.

Step 5: Test Your Flow​

Before deploying, always test your workflow:

  1. Click the "Test" or "Run" button in the Flow Editor
  2. The Chat Interface opens on the right side
  3. Enter a sample input (e.g., a customer question)
  4. Watch the flow execute step-by-step
  5. Review the output in the chat window

For detailed debugging:

  • Open the Terminal View to see logs, API calls, and execution times
  • Check for errors or unexpected behavior

Step 6: Save & Deploy​

Once your flow works as expected:

  1. Click "Save" to store your workflow

  2. Choose deployment options:

    • Private: Only you can access and run this flow
    • Public: Publish as a template for the community

  3. (Optional) Set up a Trigger for automatic execution:

    • Webhook: Trigger via API call
    • Schedule: Run at specific times (e.g., daily at 9 AM)
    • Manual: Run on-demand from the dashboard

Step 7: Monitor & Iterate​

After deployment, return to the Dashboard to:

  • View Analytics: See how often your flow runs and performance metrics
  • Check Recent Activity: Review execution logs and debug errors
  • Optimize: Adjust agent prompts, add tools, or refine logic based on real-world usage
