You can create a new workflow from scratch using the visual canvas editor. The workflow starts in Draft status. You must activate it before a trigger can start it. To create a workflow:
1
Go to the Workflows page and click the + New Workflow button.
2
The Workflow Templates modal will open. In the left sidebar, select Blank Workflow and click the Create Blank Workflow button to start from an empty canvas.
3
An empty canvas opens. Flowker creates the workflow when you save it.
4
Enter a name for the workflow in the Workflow name… field. You cannot save without a name.
5
Build your workflow by adding nodes to the canvas. You can add the following node types:
  • Trigger: defines the event that starts the workflow.
  • Executor: performs a specific operation (e.g., API call, data transformation).
  • Conditional: branches the workflow based on conditions organized in cases.
  • Action: performs a workflow-level action, such as setting the execution’s final output (set_output).
To add a node, drag its card from the Steps panel to the canvas, double-click the card, or click the plus (+) that appears when you hover over it.
6
Connect the nodes by dragging from one node’s output to another node’s input to define the execution flow.
7
Configure each node by double-clicking it and filling in the required parameters in the side panel.
8
Click Save to save your workflow.
For a complete reference on canvas interactions, node configuration fields, and available triggers and executors, see Workflow Canvas. The workflow will be created in Draft status. When your workflow is ready, you can activate it to make it available for execution.
