Teams write JavaScript directly within workflows to manipulate data structures and handle complex logic. This capability supports importing npm packages to interact with proprietary APIs or perform specific calculations during flow execution.
The framework allows engineering teams to build reusable integration pieces that abstract authentication and API endpoints. These custom components let users incorporate internal services into automated workflows without writing code for every instance.
Workflows initiate immediately upon receiving HTTP requests from external systems or internal microservices. This mechanism captures payload data in real time, allowing subsequent steps to process and route information based on specific event details.
