Enhancements to Workflow Agents

Workflows can now be triggered by receiving an email or using a scheduler. Also, the UI for creating workflow agents now shows categorized nodes, instead of the previous flat list of nodes.

List of node categories and classifications

Category Nodes Descriptions
AI
  • LLM
  • Agent
  • Workflow (New)
  • RAG Document Tool (New)

A workflow node is one workflow calling another workflow.

A RAG Document Tool references a specific Document Tool and uses its indexed content as the retrieval source for generating grounded, evidence-based answers for a user query.

Communication
  • Send Email
 
Data
  • BO Function
  • Document Processor
  • External REST API
  • Vector Read and Write
These nodes are grouped for clarity.
Logic
  • Set Variables
  • Code (New)
A Code node can run Javascript code as a node.
Workflow Control
  • Human Approval (New)
  • IF Condition
  • Loop (New)
  • Switch (New)
  • Run in Parallel (New)
  • Return (New)

These nodes control execution and branching of the workflow.

  • Human approval node is for pausing the workflow process to wait for human action (for example, approvals, rejections, or change requests) and then proceeding based on the action.
  • Loop node will iterate over a collection and process each item in sequence or parallel.
  • Switch node is similar to the IF condition node, but allows up to 10 multiple outcomes.
  • Run in Parallel node runs up to 10 branches for better performance.
  • Return node is used when you don't want to proceed further in the workflow and remain within a multi-branch context, from a start node to a stop node, to return to a specific upstream node. 

The categorized nodes improve the user experience by organizing them in a more logical manner so that you can quickly find and add the desired nodes to the workflow agent. The new triggering methods improve the automation of repetitive and predictable tasks.
