Trigger Workers

Provide the entry point. Some triggers run only on schedule; others allow manual override.

Action Workers

Core processing units. They read previous outputs and produce enriched or transformed data.

Condition Workers

Return a boolean or branch directive. If false (or unmatched), subsequent dependent workers are skipped.

Widget Workers

Package data in a structure optimized for dashboard rendering (labels, series, rows). They do not render visually by themselves inside the workflow editor; instead they feed dashboards.
