Nodes drawer

The nodes drawer is the left side panel where you choose node types to add to the canvas—triggers, actions, conditions, and operations.

Opening the drawer

Clicking the canvas background closes the drawer. Selecting a sticky note on the canvas also closes it.

While the drawer is open, the side panel shows only the node list — not the selected node’s form.

Sections and categories

Cards are grouped into four sections:

1. Triggers — Pingmee, Instagram, Facebook, Workflow Trigger, and similar starters
2. Conditions — If / Else, Switch, …
3. Actions — WhatsApp, Messenger, AI, Wait, HTTP Request, …
4. Operations — Workflow Pointer, …

Each section header shows the category name and a count, for example Actions (12).

Some node types never appear in the drawer because they are created on the canvas (branch handles, sticky notes, tag or agent assignment steps, and similar). See the node catalog for the full list.

Social-channel workflows

When you build a workflow focused on Instagram or Facebook comments, the drawer lists social actions; WhatsApp is not offered in that workflow type.

Drawer cards

Each card shows:

• Icon for the node type
• Title — display name
• Subtitle — short description

Add by click

• If the drawer was opened from a handle +, clicking a card connects the new node from that handle.
• Otherwise, the node is placed at the viewport center and the drawer closes.

Add by drag-and-drop

Drag a card onto the canvas. On drop, the node is created at the pointer position.

Side panel vs node form

Sticky notes never open the configuration form in the sidebar.
