Action Node

The Action node performs operations in third-party apps — send an email, create a spreadsheet row, post to Slack, and hundreds of other actions.

Setup

1. Drag an Action node onto the canvas.
2. Click Select App and choose from the integration catalog.
3. Choose an Action (e.g. Gmail → Send Email).
4. Fill in the required fields, using {{template}} syntax for dynamic values.
5. Connect your account when prompted (OAuth or API key).

Authentication

Actions require credentials for the target app:

If credentials are missing when the workflow runs, you'll see an Authentication Required dialog with a Connect button.

Configuring action fields

Each action has its own fields. Common patterns:

To:       {{lastOutput.email}}
Subject:  New order from {{inputs.customerName}}
Body:     {{lastOutput.summary}}

Use the Variables button to insert paths from upstream nodes instead of typing them manually.

Browse the full list in the Action node's app picker. Availability of specific actions depends on the app — each app exposes its own set of triggers and actions.

App triggers vs actions

• App Trigger (on the Start node) — workflow starts when something happens in the app
• Action (on the Action node) — workflow performs an operation in the app mid-flow

You can combine both: trigger on a new Gmail message, process it with AI, then post to Slack.

Tips

• Test with a Manual trigger first to verify field mappings before going live.
• For Gmail and Google apps, use OAuth — it's more secure than pasting tokens.
• Check the Execution Data tab if an action fails; the error message usually indicates a missing field or expired credential.
