Overview - Activepieces

Each time you add a step to a flow, you choose a piece to represent this step.

There are 3 main types of pieces that you can use as steps, as follows:

Piece Type	Description	Example
App	Performs an action on a 3rd party app	Send a Slack message
Flow Control	Controls the logic of the next step of the flow	Loop through array items
Helper	Executes an advanced operation without writing code	Parse a CSV file into an array

You can find all pieces under the Apps, Helpers and Flow Controls sections.

If you are looking for a specific piece and can’t find it, visit our Custom Pieces page to figure out the best way around it.
