Coding in Ensemble nodes

Ensemble is a low-code tool. This means you can do a lot without code, then add code when needed.

Code in your pathways

There are two places in your pathways where you can use code:

• Expressions

  Use expressions to transform data in your nodes. You can use JavaScript in expressions, as well as Ensemble's Built-in methods and variables and Data transformation functions.

  Expressions

• Code node

  Use the Code node to add JavaScript or Python to your workflow.

Other developer resources

• The Ensemble API

  Ensemble provides an API, allowing you to programmatically perform many of the same tasks as you can in the GUI. There's an Ensemble API node to access the API in your pathways.
