Workflows and components

Understand the triggers, actions, data connections and runs that form a SuperPlane workflow.

A workflow is a graph of components and dependencies on a canvas. Triggers receive events; actions call tools, run agents, transform data, wait, or require approval.

  • Triggers start a run from an event, schedule, webhook, or manual action.
  • Actions perform one unit of work and publish output.
  • Control components filter, branch, merge, loop, wait and require approval.
  • Integration components connect the workflow to an external service.

Each component can read trigger data or upstream outputs through an expression. Keep data connections explicit so a failed run is easy to inspect.

SuperPlane records runs and payloads across restarts. Define error paths and retry rules for expected failures instead of rebuilding state in external scripts.
