Workflow Builder Basics

Build, connect, validate, and publish a workflow on the visual canvas.

The Workflow Builder is a visual canvas for designing automated workflows.

Adding steps

Click a tile in the palette to drop it on the canvas. Common step types:

  • Process — an AI agent task run by the Continuo server (needs an API key).
  • Coding Agent — work dispatched to a Coda endpoint on a connected machine.
  • Checkpoint — pause and wait for a human to approve.
  • Webhook / Email / Slack / SMS — outbound actions.
  • End — terminates the workflow.

Connecting steps

Drag from the dots on the edge of a step to another step to create a transition.
Double-click a step to configure it. Press Del to remove the selected step.

Validate, publish, launch

  1. Save your work at any time.
  2. Validate to check for errors before going live.
  3. Publish to make the workflow runnable.
  4. Launch Run to start a run of the published workflow.
If the canvas appears blank, reload the page — the builder loads the saved
workflow when it opens.
