How do I build my pathway?#
Pathways are made of a collection of different nodes that perform a range of actions, including:
- Starting the pathway.
- Fetching and sending data.
- Processing and manipulating data.
Before you begin#
What kinds of node can I add to my pathway?#
| Node type | Description | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | A trigger node is used to manually or automatically start the actions in a series of connected nodes within a pathway. | Trigger node list |
| Cluster nodes | Nodes that work together to allow you to refine pathway functionality | * Root node list * Sub-node list |
| Core nodes | Core nodes allow you to manipulate data as it moves through the pathway | Core node list |
| Third-party nodes | Ensemble supports over 100 third-party services, and offers all kinds of useful trigger and flow nodes to help build pathways | Third-party nodes |
What can I do in the node editor?#
Depending on the node type, the editor will contain one or all of the following features:
| Element | Description | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Input values that can be inserted into configuration fields | Test node to obtain input values |
| Configuration | Choose the settings for the node | Available in node help |
| Docs | Link to help for the node | |
| Configure output and error behaviour | Node settings | |
| Output | Set custom output data to avoid querying third-party systems during testing | Test node with custom output data |
