Quick start

Build a working automation in about ten minutes.

This one is deliberately self-contained — it does not need any of your systems connected, so you can see how a workflow is put together before wiring it to anything real.

Add Steps

Steps are the building blocks of your automation.

2. Select VARIABLE to set a greeting
3. Configure:
   • Name: greeting
   • Value: Hello from Flow!
4. Click + again
5. Select FUNCTION to process the greeting

6. Add this code:
