Workflow Automation

Build complex automations by connecting nodes together. Each node performs a specific action - from making HTTP requests to transforming data to integrating with AI services.

Multiple Trigger Types

Start workflows in different ways:

• Manual - Run on demand
• Schedule - Cron-based scheduling
• Webhook - HTTP endpoints that trigger workflows
• Events - React to changes in connected services

Built-in Nodes

NodeDrop comes with 25+ built-in nodes covering:

• HTTP requests and webhooks
• Data transformation (Set, JSON, Code)
• Logic and flow control (If/Else, Switch, Loop)
• AI integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic)
• And more...
