Node reference

Start a workflow when a record appears in a table — or changes, if you point it at a last-modified field. Activating never replays existing rows.

Start a workflow when a person appears in your BambooHR employee directory — the HRIS entry point for the hiring and onboarding chain. Activating never replays the people already there.

Start the workflow when an event enters the lookahead window, with its attendees.

Start the workflow for each new file in a Drive folder. Files already there when the trigger is activated are not replayed.

Start the workflow when someone submits a form hosted by AutoFlow. Fields are authored here; file fields become file references.

Start a workflow from a GitHub webhook — pushes, pull requests, issues, releases. Deliveries are rejected unless their HMAC-SHA256 signature verifies.

Start the workflow for each new message matching a Gmail search. Messages already in the mailbox when the trigger is activated are not replayed.

Start the workflow when a Google Form submission arrives via its webhook URL.

Start the workflow for each new row added to a sheet. Rows already present when the trigger is activated are not replayed.

Start the workflow by clicking Run, with optional input data.

Start the workflow when a record changes in the connected QuickBooks company. Every payload is signature-verified before anything runs.

Start the workflow on a schedule (cron).

Start the workflow when a signed Stripe webhook event arrives for this workflow.

Start a workflow when someone messages the bot. Deliveries are dropped unless they carry the workflow's own secret token, which Telegram echoes from setWebhook.

Start the workflow when an HTTP request arrives at this workflow's webhook URL. Accepts GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE; add a Respond to Webhook node to reply synchronously.

Start a workflow when a WhatsApp message arrives. The bot's own outbound messages are dropped, so a workflow that replies does not reply to itself.

Create a record in an Airtable table and store the created record.

Update named fields on one record, leaving the rest alone. Type coercion is off, so a value that does not fit the column fails rather than inventing a new select option.

Start an Apify actor and wait for it to finish. The wait is a durable, cancellable step, and a run this node stops waiting on is aborted rather than left billing.

Plan a new-hire orientation session and expose the agenda and logistics to downstream nodes.

Emit the terminal employee.offboarded handoff once the exit checklist is closed — moves the OFFBOARDING employee to OFFBOARDED exactly once. OFFBOARDED is an end state, so a replay is a no-op and an employee who never entered offboarding returns a conflict instead of skipping the phase.

Render a video from a Creatomate template and store the result as a run file. The wait is a durable, cancellable step, and a render nobody is waiting on is asked to stop rather than left billing.

Post a message to a Discord channel via webhook. Content supports templates.

Draft a candidate offer letter from template fields and expose the letter text to downstream nodes.

Move a file to another folder — how a watched folder stops reprocessing what it has already handled.

Upload a file from the workflow into a Drive folder.

Open a pull request. An existing open PR for the same branches is returned rather than failing, so this is safe to re-run.

Send mail from the connected Gmail account, with HTML and file attachments.

Append rows to a Google Sheets spreadsheet and store where they landed.

Overwrite the cells of one row — normally the row a Sheets Read returned.

Update the row whose key column matches, or append one if none does.

Call any HTTP endpoint, optionally authenticated with a stored credential. URLs support templates.

Create a contact in HubSpot and store the returned contact object.

Attach a file produced earlier in the run — a PDF, an export, a screenshot — to a Jira issue.

Create a Jira issue. The issue type is resolved by name against the project, and the description is converted to Atlassian Document Format, which the v3 API requires.

Move an issue to another status by transition name. The name is resolved against the issue's own workflow at run time, so the node keeps working across projects — unlike a hardcoded transition id.

Publish a post, with an optional image. The image goes through LinkedIn's register-then-upload flow and is streamed from the run's file store rather than buffered.

Add a subscriber and put them in groups. MailerLite matches on email and updates rather than duplicating, so re-running is safe — but it will not resubscribe someone who opted out.

Emit the employee.active handoff as onboarding wraps up — moves the ONBOARDING (or OFFERED) employee to ACTIVE once and is a no-op on replay, so a re-run never double-transitions the record.

Add a row to a Notion database. Column values are wrapped to match the database's own schema, so you write plain strings rather than Notion's property union.

Run a parameterized SQL query against a PostgreSQL database and store the rows.

Attach a stored file to a QuickBooks record — a supplier invoice on a bill, a receipt on an expense. Optionally include it on the copy QuickBooks emails.

Create a QuickBooks customer. Display names are unique per company, so pair this with a Find Customer on the branch where nothing was found.

Raise a QuickBooks estimate (quote) for a customer. Same line shape as an invoice; nothing posts to the ledger until it is accepted.

Record a QuickBooks expense. QuickBooks calls this a Purchase in its API and an Expense on screen; the account ids come from the company's chart of accounts.

Raise a QuickBooks invoice for a customer. Lines come from a JSON expression, so a sheet row or an order payload maps straight onto them.

Record a QuickBooks sales receipt for money already taken — a Stripe charge, a card payment. Unlike an invoice this is paid on creation, so it needs no follow-up.

Emit the employee.hired handoff for a signed candidate — creates the org Employee row as OFFERED the first time and is a no-op on replay, so a re-run never duplicates the hire.

Submit a background check request for a candidate and expose the request reference to downstream nodes.

Return a response to the caller of a synchronous webhook. Status, content type, headers and body all support templates.

Request an interview slot for a candidate from the recruiting calendar and expose the booking link to downstream nodes.

Plan an exit interview for a departing employee and expose the session details to downstream nodes.

Send an email through an SMTP relay and store the delivery result.

Create an order with line items, customer and shipping. A retried step returns the order it already created rather than billing the customer twice.

Post a message to a Slack channel via incoming webhook. Content supports templates.

Create a Slack channel. Names are normalised to Slack's rules first, and a name that already exists returns the existing channel rather than failing.

Look a person up by email and send them a direct message. The address must match their Slack profile, which is often not their work address.

Invite users to a Slack channel by user ID. Someone already in the channel is not an error, so this is safe to re-run.

Post a message to any Slack channel using the connected workspace. Supports Block Kit and threaded replies. Unlike an incoming webhook, the channel is chosen per run.

Emit the employee.offboarding handoff when an exit is requested — moves the ACTIVE employee to OFFBOARDING once, recording the exit date and reason, and is a no-op on replay so a re-run never double-transitions the record.

Emit the employee.onboarding handoff — moves the OFFERED hire to ONBOARDING once and is a no-op on replay, so a re-run never double-transitions the record.

Create a shareable payment link for an existing price. A retried step returns the link it already made rather than a second one.

Look a customer up by email and create one only if there is none. Stripe allows duplicate emails, so this is the node that stops a billing account collecting four copies of the same person.

Submit a new hire's benefits plan selection and expose the enrollment record to downstream nodes.

Download a document, photo or voice note someone sent the bot and store it as a run file other nodes can attach or upload.

Send a message to a chat, channel or group. Text over Telegram's 4096-character limit is split on a line boundary rather than rejected.

Publish media to Instagram and other platforms through Upload-Post. Per-platform results are reported individually, so a partial failure is not read as success.

Send a templated POST request to a webhook URL and store the delivery response.

Send a WhatsApp message through a self-hosted WAHA instance. Phone numbers are normalised to WAHA's chat-id form, which it otherwise accepts silently and never delivers.

Publish a post to X. Length is checked the way X counts it — weighted, so emoji count double — before the call rather than after the rejection.

Upload a video from the run's file store using YouTube's resumable protocol. The bytes are streamed, so a large video costs a buffer rather than its own size in memory.

Send a prompt to any registered LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, Ollama) and store the response, or return structured JSON for downstream nodes.

Extract structured fields from any text using a registered LLM provider. Define the fields you want back and the model returns a clean JSON object — the document-intelligence primitive.

Generate an image and store it as a run file other nodes can attach, upload or publish. Cost is recorded per image in the run trace.

Send a chat completion to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI, Groq, Ollama, DeepSeek) and store the reply.

Generate an image with no API key and no cost, and store it as a run file. Free means rate-limited and occasionally slow, so it retries rather than failing on a busy response.

Perform semantic similarity search over knowledge base documents and inject relevant context and citations into the workflow.

Condense an employee's illness and sick-leave notes into a concise factual briefing, exposing the summary to downstream nodes.

Condense a candidate's compensation and negotiation notes into a concise factual intelligence briefing, exposing the summary to downstream nodes.

Generate a short video with Google Veo on Vertex AI and store it as a run file. Generation takes minutes, so the wait is a durable, cancellable step rather than a held worker.

Ask a person to approve or reject, then continue down the matching branch. The run waits without consuming anything.

Evaluate a condition and route to true or false branches.

Combine data from multiple upstream branches (by input port, append, or merge by key).

Route to one of several output branches based on the first matching rule.

Pause the run for a fixed duration, or until a timestamp the workflow computed.

Read records from a table, filtered server-side with a formula. Paging is bounded and truncation is reported.

Fetch the items an actor produced, paginated and capped. Truncation is reported, so a partial read never looks like a complete one.

Look up a person or a company in Apollo and return the matched record. A miss is reported as found: false rather than failing, so a list can be enriched without one unknown contact stopping the run.

Fetch a URL into file storage and pass a reference downstream. The bytes never enter the run context.

Download a Drive file into file storage. Google Docs, Sheets and Slides are exported to their Office equivalents.

Read the text out of a PDF, DOCX, HTML or plain-text file and pass it downstream.

List commits on a branch, optionally since a timestamp or under a path. Useful for release notes and daily digests.

Search pull requests with GitHub's query syntax — stale reviews, unmerged branches, PRs by author. Returns the matches with their review state.

Find places by text query and return name, address and rating — with phone and website when asked for. Every request is billed, and the field mask the node sends decides which price tier applies.

Run a Custom Search query and return the results. Metered: 100 queries a day are free and every one after that is billed, so the node caps results and says when it stopped.

Read a range from a spreadsheet as rows, addressable by column name.

Render templated HTML into a PDF and pass a file reference downstream. Scripts never run and remote resources are never fetched.

Run a JQL query and return the matching issues with their status, assignee and labels.

Look a subscriber up by email. A miss is reported as found: false rather than failing, and the subscriber's status is returned — someone who unsubscribed still exists.

Read rows from a Notion database with an optional filter and sort. Property values are flattened to plain strings, numbers and lists.

Look a QuickBooks customer up by display name or email. Returns found: false rather than failing when there is no match, so a find-or-create branch works.

Read one QuickBooks record by type and id. Pairs with the webhook trigger, which reports what changed but not what it now says.

Fetch a QuickBooks invoice as the PDF QuickBooks itself would email, and store it as a file reference for a later upload or attachment.

List the workspace's channels, optionally looking for one by name. Pair with Create Channel to make a create-if-absent flow.

Read a customer by id, including their metadata and default payment method. A deleted customer is reported rather than treated as missing.

Read or write to a native AutoFlow workspace table.

Close a fan-out segment, collecting each item's output into { items, count, failed }.

Build a role-aware offboarding checklist and expose the structured task list to downstream nodes.

Build a role-aware onboarding checklist and expose the structured task list to downstream nodes.

Run custom JavaScript against the resolved input inside a hardened sandbox.

Skip items this workflow has already handled. Remembers keys between runs, scoped to this node.

Keep only the items that match a typed condition. Inside a fan-out segment it drops non-matching items; outside one it filters an array.

Score a list of candidates against a weighted rubric and rank them from best to worst fit.

Map or set fields on the workflow context using expressions.

Iterate an array: run the nodes between this and its AGGREGATE once per item, with $item in scope.
