Dev Components

Dev components bring development and engineering flexibility into workflows. They allow you to call APIs, run Python functions, connect integrations, and annotate workflows with notes.

API

The API block sets up external API calls inside workflows.

Pulls or pushes data to a client’s database or third-party service.
Can be invoked directly or by an AI agent when additional context is required.
Example uses:
- Check a user’s subscription status
- Retrieve order details from an ERP
- Update a ticket property in a helpdesk system

Function

The Function block allows embedding custom Python code.

Accepts specific inputs and returns structured outputs.
Highly versatile for validation, transformation, or computation.
Example uses:
- Validate transaction hashes
- Check if a URL is valid
- Normalize data (e.g., phone numbers, dates)

Integration

The Integration block connects to third-party apps and fetches structured data.

Common integrations: Google Sheets, CRMs, Payment processors
Example uses:
- Read/write rows in a Google Sheet
- Pull customer info from Salesforce
- Fetch product catalog data from Shopify

Notes

The Notes block adds inline documentation to a workflow.

Helps explain why a step exists or what a condition means.
Improves collaboration by making workflows easier to audit and maintain.
Notes are non-executable and purely for context.
