Workflow Builder

No-code automation. Built for operators.

Mirgent's visual workflow builder chains triggers, actions, AI agents, and conditionals into automations you can read at a glance. RSS-to-post, lead-discovery-then-reply, weekly-analytics-digest, all live as visual node graphs you edit in the browser.

Build automations like you'd build a flowchart

Six primitives that compose into any automation pattern you need.

Visual Node Editor

Drag triggers + actions onto a canvas, connect them with arrows. The graph reads top-to-bottom; debugging is just following the lines.

Cron + Event Triggers

Time-based (any cron string), RSS-new-item, webhook, manual trigger. Combine multiple triggers per workflow for complex scheduling.

30+ Built-in Actions

Post, comment, follow, unfollow, share, search-leads, send-message, format-text, conditional-branch, every primitive social-automation action.

AI Agent Nodes

Drop any of your agents (Content Planner, Lead Hunter, custom) into a workflow as a node. Output flows downstream like any other action.

Variable Cache

CACHE_GET / CACHE_SET nodes let workflows persist data across runs (last-RSS-item ID, last-lead-replied-to). State without external DB.

Approval Branches

Insert REQUEST_APPROVAL nodes anywhere; the workflow pauses until you approve in the queue. Hard gate before public actions.

From idea to running workflow in 5 minutes

The mental model is simple: trigger fires → nodes execute in order → approved actions ship. Here's the actual flow:

  1. Pick a trigger

    Time-based (cron), RSS feed, webhook from Zapier/Stripe, or manual. Trigger sets when the workflow runs and what data is available downstream.

  2. Drop action nodes

    Choose from 30+ built-in actions: post to platform X, search for leads matching keywords Y, draft AI content from template Z, conditional branch based on lead score.

  3. Insert approval gates

    Anywhere a public action would post, drop a REQUEST_APPROVAL node before it. Workflow pauses; you approve from the queue; downstream nodes run.

  4. Test on demand

    Click 'Test Run' to execute the workflow once with logs visible per-node. Identify the bug, fix the node, re-test. Standard dev loop.

  5. Enable + watch

    Toggle the workflow ON. Mirgent's scheduler dispatches it on schedule. Each run logs to a per-workflow run history with input + output + duration per node.

Workflow recipes that ship today

Battle-tested workflow shapes most users build within their first week.

RSS → Multi-Platform Fanout

RSS_NEW_ITEM trigger → AI_FORMAT (per-platform variants) → APPROVAL_GATE → CROSS_POST to Twitter, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon.

Lead Hunter → Reply Drafts

Cron-hourly trigger → SEARCH_LEADS (Reddit + Quora + HN) → AI_DRAFT_REPLY → QUEUE_FOR_APPROVAL.

Weekly Analytics Digest

Cron-Sunday-9am trigger → FETCH_ANALYTICS (all platforms) → AI_SUMMARIZE → SEND_EMAIL to your inbox.

Webhook → Acknowledge Post

WEBHOOK trigger (e.g. Stripe new subscription) → AI_DRAFT (welcome thank-you) → POST to Twitter, LinkedIn.

Daily Growth Flywheel

Cron-daily trigger → FOLLOW_FROM_PAGE (target audience) → ACCEPT_REQUESTS → UNFOLLOW_UNRECIPROCATED weekly.

+ Custom shapes

Build whatever fits your operation. Chains can branch, loop, gate on conditions, and call sub-workflows.

Who builds workflows in Mirgent

Three patterns of operators we see consistently building workflows by week 2.

SaaS founders chaining outbound

Lead Hunter → AI Draft → Approval Gate → Reply → Lead Lifecycle Update. Replaces a $3-5K/mo marketing hire with a workflow you maintain in 30 min/week.

Content teams managing pipeline

RSS → Format Variants → Editor Approval → Senior Approval → Cross-Post → Analytics. Multi-stage approval suits bigger teams.

Agencies running per-client automation

Per-client workspace, per-client workflow templates. One template (RSS-to-Twitter+LinkedIn) cloned across 20 clients with per-client variables.

Workflows can't go rogue

Building automation always raises 'what if it spirals' questions. Mirgent's workflow runtime has hard guards.

  • Per-workflow daily run cap (default 12), prevents infinite-loop scenarios.
  • Per-node timeout cap (default 60s), stuck nodes fail rather than hang.
  • Approval gates default to required for any public action, opt-in to auto-mode.
  • Run history logs every input/output, audit any decision after the fact.

Workflows FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The visual editor is drag-and-connect, same mental model as Zapier or n8n. Most users build their first useful workflow within 15 minutes of opening the editor.

How is this different from Zapier?

Zapier is generic (any app to any app); Mirgent's workflows are social-specific (deep nodes for posting, lead discovery, AI agents, approval queues). For social automation Mirgent is far more capable per dollar; for cross-app glue, Zapier is irreplaceable.

Can workflows trigger from external systems?

Yes, the WEBHOOK trigger accepts any external POST. Stripe, Typeform, GitHub, Zapier, custom apps all work. Your external system sends a JSON payload; the workflow fires and the payload is available to downstream nodes as variables.

Are workflows shareable / templatable?

Yes. Mirgent ships 25+ workflow templates (RSS share, growth flywheel, lead hunter, etc.) you install with one click. Custom workflows can be exported as JSON and re-imported into another workspace.

What happens to a running workflow if I edit it?

Currently-running runs continue with the old version; new runs use the new version. Edits are non-destructive, you can revert to any prior version of the workflow from the version history.

Can workflows call AI providers?

Yes via AI Agent nodes, they use your BYO key. Costs land on your provider bill (transparent). Per-node token caps prevent runaway spend.
