Step types
Every kind of step a flow can contain, grouped by what it does.
Flow of control
- If condition — branch true/false on a comparison.
- Switch — branch many ways on one value.
- Loop items — run a branch once per item in a list.
- Spawn branch — start a parallel branch and carry on.
- Error handler — catch a failing step and route it.
- End point — finish the run.
Data
- Set data — compute or set values in the traveller's data; the general-purpose transform.
- DB query — query the site database and keep the result.
- Code — a sandboxed TypeScript transform for data munging a plain step cannot express.
- Log entry — write to the event log.
- Dataset write / query / delete — records in your data collections. See Data collections.
External
- HTTP request — call an outside API and keep the response (credentials from the credentials manager).
- Function call — run one of your published functions.
- Webhook trigger — fire a webhook out to another system.
- Async wait — pause until an inbound webhook resumes this run.
- Agent invoke — hand the work to an AI agent and resume with its answer.
Time
- Set delay — wait days or seconds before the next step (the drip in a drip sequence).
- Timed page — show a page for a set time, then move on.
- Schedule trigger — start the flow at set times.
Web
- Source — the entry point.
- Track — record a visit.
- Landing page — render a page.
- Capture page — render a page whose form posts back into the flow.
- Split test — send traffic to two or more outputs by weight.
- Redirect — send the visitor elsewhere.
Email and prospects
- Send email — a mailing script to the traveller, with placeholders filled.
- Add subscriber — enrol the traveller in an email sequence.
- Save to list — put them on a list.
- System email — one of the site's system emails (welcome, verification…).
Accounts and checkout
- Referrer gate · Register account · Sign in · Verify account — the pieces of registration and login.
- Run journey — hand the visitor to another journey.
- Checkout identity · Checkout page · Order placed — the pieces of checkout.
