# Actions

From Insight to Execution

Turn analytical workflows into executable pipelines with scheduling, conditional branching, human approvals, and multi-channel notifications.

If Playbooks are the brain, Actions are the nervous system. They bridge the gap between seeing a signal and acting on it.

Build Workflows Visually

Design workflows by connecting nodes on a canvas, the same way you would sketch a flowchart on a whiteboard. Except this flowchart executes.

No code, no YAML, no configuration wizards. The platform handles orchestration, parallelism, failure recovery, and notification delivery.

  • Drag-and-drop canvas for composing workflows visually
  • Distinct node types: Agent, SQL, Metric, Playbook, Classify, Condition, Approval
  • Comprehensive validation before deployment, no broken pipelines
  • Undo/redo, auto-arrange, zoom controls, and minimap for complex workflows

Outcome: Complex analytical pipelines designed in minutes, not days.

Execution & Branching

Intelligent Routing

Every Action compiles into a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The platform walks the graph, resolves dependencies, and runs independent branches in parallel.

Classify nodes let workflows reason about their own output and route accordingly. Approval gates keep humans in the loop when judgment is needed, without blocking automation when it is not.

  • Directed acyclic graph (DAG) execution with parallel step processing
  • Classify and Condition nodes for intelligent routing of downstream branches
  • User Approval gates that pause execution and notify via Slack, Email, or Teams
  • Configurable failure policies per step: Stop, Continue, or Escalate

Outcome: Workflows that respond intelligently, not just sequentially.

Scheduling & Triggers

Run on Your Terms

Actions support three trigger modes: manual, scheduled, and event-driven. A daily compliance check, an hourly anomaly scan, a weekly executive summary, all running without human intervention.

Schedule it daily and the team only hears about it when there is something worth hearing about. Every run is logged, every result recorded, every notification traceable.

  • Manual: Run on demand from the UI for ad-hoc investigations
  • Scheduled: Define cron expressions or intervals for automated runs
  • Event-driven: Trigger when a metric crosses a threshold or an external system sends a webhook
  • Enable or disable scheduled actions without deleting them

Outcome: Analytics that respond to your schedule and your events, not the other way around.

Trigger Modes

Three ways to fire

Manual

Run on demand from the UI for ad-hoc investigations

Scheduled

Cron expressions or intervals with fault-tolerant scheduling

Event-driven

Threshold crossings, pipeline completions, or external webhooks

Real-Time Visibility

No Black Box

When an Action runs, the platform streams execution events in real time. You see the DAG executing, not just its final state.

Every execution is observable in real time and auditable after the fact. You can trace exactly which branch was taken, which steps succeeded or failed, and what each AI agent reasoned before producing its output.

  • Real-time execution streaming over WebSocket as workflows run
  • Live node status on the canvas for success, failure, and in-progress
  • Full execution logs persisted with step-level input, output, duration, and token usage
  • Filterable dashboard with run history, success rates, and step-by-step trace

Outcome: Complete audit trail with step-level detail for every execution.
