Visual Workflow Designer
Automate your business logic without writing code. Create workflows that trigger on data changes, run on schedules, or respond to custom events — all through an intuitive visual interface.
Automation for Everyone
Business logic shouldn't require developer time for every change. Workflows put automation in the hands of your team.
The Workflow Designer is a visual canvas where you drag and drop triggers, conditions, and actions to create automated processes. When a new user signs up, send a welcome email. When an order is placed, update inventory and notify the warehouse. When a task is overdue, send a reminder. All of this configured visually, tested in the UI, and deployed without touching code.
- Visual drag-and-drop workflow builder in the Admin UI
- Trigger on data changes (create, update, delete)
- Schedule-based triggers (cron expressions)
- Manual triggers for on-demand execution
- Conditional branching based on data values
- 17+ node types: Email, Webhook, Update Data, Create Record, Delay, Loop, and more
- Version history and rollback support
Automation Without the Complexity
Compare building automations with code vs visual workflows.
✓ With Baasix
- Drag and drop to create automation logic
- Non-developers can build and modify workflows
- Test workflows visually before deploying
- Change triggers without redeployment
- Built-in logging and debugging tools
✗ Traditional Approach
- Write custom event handlers in code
- Developer required for every automation change
- Unit tests and staging environments needed
- Code changes require deployment cycles
- Build custom logging infrastructure
Workflow Capabilities
Event Triggers
Start workflows when records are created, updated, or deleted. Filter to specific conditions or field changes.
Scheduled Runs
Run workflows on schedules using cron expressions. Daily reports, weekly cleanups, monthly billing.
Conditional Logic
Add if/else branches based on data values. Route workflows differently based on conditions.
Built-in Actions
Send emails, call webhooks, update records, create notifications, and more — all without code.
Custom Actions
Need something specific? Create custom action nodes using extensions and use them in any workflow.
Sub-workflows
Call other workflows as steps. Build reusable automation components.
Automate Any Process
From simple notifications to complex business processes.
User Onboarding
When a user signs up: send welcome email, create default records, notify the team, and start trial period.
Order Processing
New order triggers inventory update, payment capture, email confirmation, and warehouse notification.
Approval Workflows
Content submitted for review triggers notification to reviewers. On approval, publish and notify author.
Data Maintenance
Scheduled cleanup of old records, data aggregation for reports, and automated backups.
Workflow FAQ
Can workflows call external APIs?
Yes! The webhook action lets you call any HTTP endpoint. You can send data from your records and handle responses in subsequent steps.
How do I debug a workflow that isn't working?
Every workflow run is logged with full execution details. You can see which steps ran, what data was passed, and where errors occurred.
Can I test workflows before deploying?
Absolutely. The workflow designer includes a test mode where you can run workflows with sample data and see the results before enabling them.
Are there limits on workflow complexity?
Workflows can have unlimited steps and branches. For very complex logic, consider breaking into multiple workflows that call each other.
