Use nodes

Nodes are the key building blocks of a workflow. They perform a range of actions, including:

• Starting the workflow.
• Fetching and sending data.
• Processing and manipulating data.

Mosaic Workflows provides a wide collection of built-in nodes. Refer to Built-in integrations to learn about the node types, and browse nodes in the Node library.

Add a node to your workflow

Add a node to an empty workflow

1. Select Add first step . This opens the nodes panel, where you can search or browse trigger nodes.
2. Search and select the trigger you want to use.

Add a node to an existing workflow

Select the Add node connector. Mosaic Workflows opens the nodes panel, where you can search all nodes.

View node controls

To view node controls, hover over the node on the canvas:

• Play : run the node.
• Node context menu : select node actions. Available actions:
  • Open node
  • Execute node
  • Rename node
  • Deactivate node
  • Pin node
  • Copy node
  • Duplicate node
  • Select all
  • Clear selection
  • Delete node

Manage node settings

The node settings allow you to control node behaviors and add node notes.

There are four toggles:

• Always Output Data : the node returns an empty item even if the node returns no data during execution. Be careful setting this on IF nodes, as it could cause an infinite loop.
• Execute Once : the node executes once, with data from the first item it receives. It doesn't process any additional items.
• Retry On Fail : when an execution fails, the node reruns until it succeeds.
• Continue On Fail : the workflow continues even if the execution of the node fails. When this happens, the node passes along input data from previous nodes, so if you enable this setting, the workflow design must handle unexpected output data.

Document workflows with nodes

You can document your workflow using node notes:

• Notes : note to save with the node.
• Display note in flow : if active, Mosaic Workflows displays the note in the workflow as a subtitle.
