Workflows

Workflows that run on their own

Start a run by hand, on a schedule, from an API call or from a chat, then chain nodes that decide, call AI models, read and write your data and talk to other systems.

Triggers

Start a run your way

How workflows work

Core Concepts

Understanding the fundamental building blocks of Ubex.

Workflows

A workflow is a visual representation of your automation logic. It consists of:

  • Nodes - Individual processing units (LLM, HTTP, conditions, etc.)
  • Connections - Links between nodes that define data flow
  • Variables - Data passed between nodes

Nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of your workflow. Each node performs a specific action:

  • Trigger Nodes - Start the workflow (manual, schedule, API, chat)
  • Processing Nodes - Transform data (LLM, code, HTTP)
  • Logic Nodes - Control flow (conditions, loops)
  • Output Nodes - Return results

Variables

Variables store data as it flows through your workflow. Use the {{variable_name}} syntax to reference them in any node configuration.

Execution

When a workflow runs:

  1. The trigger node activates
  2. Data flows through connected nodes
  3. Each node processes and outputs data
  4. The workflow completes when all paths finish
