The Workflow Editor

The Workflow Editor is a user-friendly interface for creating, managing, and visualizing workflows.

The workflow editor enables users to design and manage workflows visually, providing a simple and intuitive canvas for creating complex workflows. With its drag-and-drop functionality, the workflow editor allows users to effortlessly arrange and connect nodes, which represent individual steps or tasks within the workflow.

With the ability to design workflows visually and manipulate nodes through drag-and-drop interactions, the workflow editor eliminates the need for complex scripting or coding. This streamlines the process of building and modifying workflows, making it accessible to a wider range of users, including those without extensive programming expertise.

The Workflow Editor interface in Kubeark is a user-friendly environment designed for creating and managing Workflows. It is structured to facilitate ease of use while offering comprehensive functionality. Here's an overview of its key components.

Kubey AI: By integrating AI-powered conversational capabilities directly into the workflow environment, users can effortlessly query the system, receive intelligent suggestions for optimizing their workflows, and resolve issues in real time. This option serves as a virtual assistant and empowers you to harness the full potential of the Kubeark platform

Code editor: This editor allows for viewing and editing the workflow manifest, offering a more technical and detailed approach to workflow management. Refer: The Code Editor

Working Area: The central part of the editor, this is where the construction of the workflow takes place. Users can arrange, connect, and configure the nodes and actions dragged from the left side panel, visually designing the workflow’s structure and flow.

History: By clicking this button, users can view the execution history of the workflow. This historical data is important for analyzing past operations, troubleshooting issues, and understanding the workflow's performance over time.

Webhooks: This opens a popup window where users can setup new webhooks. The creation process involves specifying details such as the description, response payload format (YAML/JSON), and a code snippet window. Additionally, users can set up Access Control Lists (ACL) by adding groups, headers, and values, ensuring secure and controlled webhook operations. See Webhooks

The webhooks trigger option allows the workflow to respond to HTTP callbacks. Users can configure external systems to send webhook events, which in turn trigger the execution of the workflow. This integration provides flexibility in initiating workflows based on specific events or notifications from various external sources. By leveraging webhooks, users can seamlessly connect their workflows with other systems, enabling powerful automation and orchestration capabilities

Code editor: For users who prefer to work directly with the workflow’s code, this button opens up a code editor. This editor allows for viewing and editing the workflow manifest, offering a more technical and detailed approach to workflow management. It caters to users who are comfortable with direct code manipulation or who need to make advanced customizations.

The workflow editor comprises a diverse range of essential components that offer extensive functionality for workflow design and execution. These components include nodes, actions, triggers, and other related elements, enabling users to construct and customize workflows according to their specific requirements.
