  3. Choose the type of Trigger you want to implement.
  4. Subsequently, choose the specific Trigger node you want to use in your workflow.

  10. Choose the type of Action you want to add.
  11. Subsequently, select the specific Action Node you want to use.
  12. Browse the list of available Action Events afterwards, then choose one based on your preference.
  13. Now, it's time to configure the selected Action node. Select your preferred credential, provide all the necessary details, and adjust all the required settings according to your liking.
  14. Once done, click 'Execute Step' to run your input.
  15. Click the 'Close' button afterwards to return to your workflow.
  16. If you need to create more steps, simply click the 'Add' button and repeat the same process.

📌 Why this matters

Creating workflows lets you automate repetitive tasks between different apps and services without writing code. You can connect tools like Gmail, Slack, databases, and APIs to trigger actions automatically when specific events happen.

The real power emerges when you chain multiple steps together—what starts as a simple notification can become a sophisticated system that processes data, makes decisions, and updates multiple platforms simultaneously. This transforms manual processes that might take hours into automated sequences that run reliably in the background.
