2. Learn How to Use the Workflow Editor

In this lesson you’ll learn:

  • The editor layout and its core elements

  • How to add, edit, or remove steps in a workflow

  • How to rename your workflow and steps

  • How to publish the workflow

This lesson introduces the workspace where your automations are built and managed.

 

What is the Editor?

The Keragon editor is your main workspace for creating and managing workflows.

In the editor, you can:

  • Use the chat (left side) to describe what you want to automate and update the workflow

  • See and organize your workflow steps (right side canvas)

  • Configure each step’s settings

  • Publish your workflow when you’re ready

The Core Elements of the Editor

Chat (primary way to build)

On the left side of the editor, you’ll see the chat with an input box at the bottom.

Use it to:

  • Create a workflow from scratch

  • Add steps (new actions, logic, etc.)

  • Adjust an existing workflow without rebuilding it manually

Top menu controls

At the top:

  • Keragon logo (top left): Takes you back to the dashboard.

  • Workflow title (top left): Shows the workflow name (rename it by editing the title).

 

  • Get help (top right): Opens a help menu with support options.

  • Refresh button (top right): View and restore previous workflow versions. Browse version history and revert to an earlier state if needed.

  • Template (top right): Create a template from your current workflow so you can easily reuse the same steps and settings in the future.

  • Publish (top right): Publishes your workflow.

Workflow steps

Your workflow appears on the right as a series of steps starting from the trigger.

Each step is a card (for example, a trigger like “Jotform / New submission” and an action like “DrChrono / Create patient”).

You can:

  • Select a step to configure it

  • Insert steps between existing steps

  • Remove steps you don’t need

Add a step (manual method)

Chat is the primary way to build, but you can also add steps manually.

Click the + button:

  • Between two steps, to insert a step in the middle

  • Below the last step, to add the next step

Delete a step

Select a step to reveal step controls, including a trash/delete option.

Use this to remove a step from the workflow.

Edit a step (step settings)

When you click a step, a configuration panel opens where you can adjust its settings.

This panel includes three tabs:

  • Description: A high-level summary of what the step does

  • Auth: The connected account used for that step

  • Inputs: The fields and values the step uses

From there, you can update inputs and click Save.

Get help

From there, you can access options like:

  • Booking an onboarding call

  • Workflow assistance

  • Connector requests or issues

  • Help Center resources

  • Status page link

If you’re unsure how to structure your automation, start by describing it in the chat.

We understand that building a workflow can be intimidating so we’re always happy to help out. You can even schedule a call with one of our product experts who can guide you through the process.
