Agent Builder

What is an Agent?

An agent is an intelligent automation that performs tasks based on triggers and defined workflows. Agents can:

• Monitor systems and respond to events
• Process data automatically on a schedule
• Orchestrate complex workflows across multiple systems
• Transform and route data between applications
• Execute tasks based on conditions and logic

Agent Types

• Data Processor: Transform, filter, and process data from various sources
• Workflow Automation: Chain multiple actions together for complex processes
• Scheduled Task: Run recurring tasks at specified intervals
• System Monitor: Watch for changes and trigger actions automatically
• Custom Agent: Build specialized agents for unique requirements

Building Workflows

1. Start with a Trigger: Define what initiates your agent (schedule, webhook, file change)
2. Add Actions: Drag action nodes to perform tasks (HTTP requests, emails, database operations)
3. Apply Logic: Use conditions, loops, and delays to control flow
4. Connect Nodes: Click and drag between nodes to create connections
5. Configure Each Node: Click nodes to set parameters and options
6. Test and Validate: Run tests to ensure your agent works correctly

Best Practices

• Start simple and add complexity gradually
• Use descriptive names for agents and nodes
• Add error handling with conditional logic
• Test workflows with sample data before deployment
• Document your agent's purpose in the description
• Export configurations as backups

Node Types Explained

Triggers:

• Schedule: Run at specific times or intervals (cron-like)
• Webhook: Trigger via HTTP endpoint
• File Watch: Monitor file system for changes

Actions:

• HTTP Request: Call external APIs and services
• Send Email: Send notifications or reports
• Database: Query or update database records
• Transform Data: Map, filter, or modify data structures

Logic:

• Condition: Branch based on if/else logic
• Loop: Iterate over arrays or repeat actions
• Delay: Pause execution for specified duration

Use Cases

• Automated data synchronization between systems
• Report generation and email delivery
• File processing and transformation pipelines
• API integration and data aggregation
• System health monitoring and alerts
• Backup and archival automation
• Content publishing workflows
• Order processing and fulfillment
