Node & command reference
Search 178 documented Quick Actions and Visual Flow nodes. Each entry explains what to configure, what happens when it runs, and any important safety notes.
How nodes work together: connect an output dot to the next node's input. A variable such as seller_name can be inserted into a Template as {{seller_name}}. Finish output-focused flows with Final Action. Test commands that change files, Windows settings, or external services with safe sample data first.
