Getting started
From signup to your first running workflow in about ten minutes.
OpFlow is a visual workflow builder over a real execution engine. You draw a flow on a canvas — a trigger, then the steps it sets off — and OpFlow runs it. This guide takes you from a new account to a working workflow.
1 · Create an account
Sign up with an email and password — the full engine is on the free tier, no card required. You land in the workspace at /app.
2 · Connect a tool
Open Connections and link the apps this workflow will touch — a Google account, an Airtable base, a phone system. Credentials are encrypted at rest and scoped to your workspace. You can connect more later; a workflow only needs the tools it actually uses.
3 · Build the flow
- Create a workflow and add a trigger — a webhook, a schedule, a manual run, or an internal event.
- Add action nodes downstream and wire them together. Nodes are category-colored: triggers, logic, AI, actions.
- Configure each node in the inspector. Reference data from earlier steps with expressions (see Expressions).
4 · Test as you go
Pin sample data on a node and run from any point on the canvas — you don't have to fire the whole flow to test the middle of it. Every run records its per-step input and output so you can see exactly what happened.
5 · Ship it
Activate the workflow. A webhook flow goes live on its production URL; a scheduled flow starts running on its recurrence. Every change is versioned, so you can roll back at any time.
1 credit = 1 operation. A 200-step flow uses 200 credits; retries are free and disabled nodes don't count. Every paid tier starts at 10,000 operations / month — build the flow the problem needs and meter what you use.
