Workflows (Automation)

A workflow is a chain of edits you made on the board — an image and what you generated from it, step by step — saved so it can be run again on other images. Workflows are run from the chat bar's Workflows mode, which is also where your saved workflows live.

Building a workflow

  1. Select the chain — click the image the chain starts from, then Shift-click what you made from it.
  2. Create the flow — when the selection forms a chain the app recognises, an amber Create Flow button appears on the selection toolbar. Click it: the chain is copied into an amber flow box beside the originals, named "Flow — 1 input".
  3. Save it — hover the flow box and click Save to Workflows (bookmark icon) on its bar. The workflow is named after the box's label.

The box stays linked to the saved workflow: renaming the box renames the saved workflow, and clicking Save to Workflows again updates it rather than saving a copy.

The Workflows mode

The chat bar's mode menu has a Workflows row under Image, Video and 3D. In this mode the bar is amber and holds:

  • The workflow pill — the workflow that Run will run. Click it to open the picker.
  • The input tiles — the images and clips selected on the board. What you select is what the workflow runs on.
  • The steps and the cost — each step's operation, and the estimated credits for the whole run.
  • Run — starts the run. While it runs, Pause, Resume and Cancel sit in the bar; collapse the bar and they move above the run on the board.

Pick Image, Video or 3D in the mode menu to leave the Workflows mode.

Other ways into the mode:

  • Run workflow… on the bar of an image or a clip, on the bar of a selection of them, and in the right-click menu of a selection. It opens the mode with those as the inputs.
  • Run Flow on a flow box's bar. It sets the mode to that flow as it is on the board, so an edit to the box is what runs.
  • Rerun flow in the right-click menu while a chain is selected. It sets the mode to that chain without making a box.

Inputs and runs

  • A workflow with one input runs once on each selected image, or each selected clip when its input takes a video, up to 8 in one go. Selecting the same one twice runs it once.
  • A workflow with more than one input takes exactly that many, filling its inputs in the order you selected them; an image in an input that takes a clip (or the other way round) is refused with "Input N takes a video" or "an image".
  • Images and clips can be inputs: a flow that starts from a clip (a video-to-video edit of it, a merge) takes a clip there. Anything inside a flow box is part of that flow, not an input.

The results land beside each input image, laid out the way the workflow's own steps sit beside its first image, and connected to it. A saved workflow runs without being placed on the board.

Credits are taken step by step as each one starts. Only one workflow runs at a time per account; a second Run says "A workflow is already running".

The workflow picker

Click the workflow pill to see your saved workflows. Each card shows:

  • The node tree — the workflow's own images, drawn where they sit in the flow and joined by its connections.
  • Name.
  • Inputs and steps — e.g. "1 input · 2 steps".
  • Estimated credits for one run.
  • An organisation badge if you share the workflow with your organisation.

A search field filters the cards. Click a card to choose that workflow.

The eye on a card opens the workflow large: its node tree on a small board you can pan and zoom, with each step's operation, model and credits beside it. Use this workflow chooses it; Open on the board to edit places its flow box on the board.

Right-click a card to:

  • Rename it.
  • Share with [Org] or Remove from [Org] — toggle organisation sharing (owner only).
  • Delete it. Delete asks first, because a deleted workflow does not go to the Bin. Flows already on a board stay there.

Workflow group appearance

Flow boxes have fixed amber styling to tell them apart from regular groups:

  • Border — solid (non-dashed) amber-500/50.
  • Fill — amber-500/10 (or amber-500/20 when selected).
  • Label icon — a Network icon (rotated 90°) precedes the name.
  • Label suffix — the number of inputs, e.g. "Flow — 1 input".

You cannot change the colour of a flow box, and it stays one piece: neither its bar nor its right-click menu has Color or Ungroup. Double-click the label to rename it; the rename carries to the saved workflow.

Sharing a workflow with your organisation

Only the workflow's owner can share it:

  1. Right-click its card in the workflow picker.
  2. Click "Share with [Org]". The card gains the organisation badge; only a failure raises a toast.
  3. Organisation members see it under your organisation's name in their picker. They can preview it but cannot rename, share or delete it.
  4. To un-share, right-click again and click "Remove from [Org]".

A workflow shared by someone else cannot be run: its steps' settings belong to images its owner made, which you cannot read. Its card says it can't run, and the preview says why.

Note: Community (public) workflow sharing is not built; sharing is limited to your organisation.

Departed members

When a member leaves your organisation, their shared workflows are hidden from everyone else's picker. Nobody else can un-share them: un-sharing refuses any caller who is not the workflow's owner, organisation admins included.
