Autotask
The granular, atomic unit of work performed by an agent — defines what to do inside a workflow.
Overview
An Autotask is a workflow — a visual graph of steps that runs your process automatically. It defines "what to do" (e.g. "Update row", "Send email"). You build it on a canvas by connecting nodes.
Create an autotask
- Go to Auto Tasks in the side menu and click Create.
- You start with a single Trigger node — this defines what starts the workflow.
- Click the + button on a node to add the next step. A picker opens with tabs: Connectors, Auto Tasks, AI/Agents, and Utilities.
- Pick a node type, configure it, and repeat to build out your workflow.
- Give your autotask a Name and Description, then save/publish it.
Node types
| Node | What it does |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Starts the workflow (e.g. from an incoming webhook) |
| Agent | Runs one of your Agents, with its own step-specific prompt. Use the Test tab to try it out before saving. |
| Autotask | Calls another existing Autotask as a sub-step |
| Connector | Runs an action from one of your connected tools |
| Conditional Edge | Branches the workflow (if/else) into multiple paths |
| Delay | Pauses the workflow for a set number of seconds |
| Save Result | Stores the previous step's output under a variable name so later steps can use it |
| Notification | Sends a message to a target (e.g. an email address) |
Canvas controls
- Drag to pan, scroll/pinch to zoom, or use the on-screen zoom and recenter buttons.
- Drag nodes to rearrange them.
- Click a node to open its configuration panel on the side.
:::tip Add a Save Result node right after any step whose output you'll need later (like a Connector or Agent response) — reference it by its variable name in downstream steps. :::

Combine one or more Autotasks with Agents and Connectors into a full Automation.
