What is NexFlow?
NexFlow is a visual workflow automation platform. Connect one trigger to action nodes to process events, call services, generate AI text, and send results.
Do workflows run automatically?
Webhook-triggered workflows run when their configured external service sends an accepted event. Manual Trigger workflows run only when you select Execute workflow. Workflows are created active, but the current UI has no activation toggle.
What are Triggers and Actions?
A Trigger is the one starting event. An Action is a later connected step that performs work. One workflow can contain only one trigger.
Why do I need Credentials?
External providers must authenticate requests. Credentials let NexFlow store an encrypted provider secret once while workflow nodes keep only its ID.
Why did my workflow fail?
Open Executions, select the failed run, and find the first failed node. Its safe error usually identifies invalid settings, a missing credential, template path, provider response, or network problem.
How do I use AI output in another node?
Connect AI Text Generation upstream of the next node, keep its default Variable Name aiText or choose a unique name, and use {{aiText.text}}.
Does NexFlow expose my API keys?
Credential secrets are encrypted before storage, not returned by credential APIs, and not embedded in workflow node data. You still must protect your account and the deployment's encryption configuration.
Why did my Telegram or Discord webhook stop working?
A changed local tunnel URL is a common cause. Telegram offers Update Webhook in its settings. Discord's current settings do not expose endpoint management, so update the Discord Developer Portal endpoint through the deployment's supported operational process.
Which integrations are supported?
Current executable nodes cover Manual Trigger, Telegram, Discord HTTP Interactions, Google Forms through Apps Script, Google Gemini AI Text Generation, and public HTTP Requests. Discord's user-facing endpoint setup remains incomplete.
Are OpenAI and Claude supported?
Coming Soon
No. Both are UI-only disabled placeholders marked Coming Soon. They cannot be added to a canvas or executed, and there are no OpenAI/Anthropic credentials or API calls.
