Build your first workflow
Create a message, run it, and inspect the output in a few minutes.
This first workflow uses only core nodes. You do not need a wallet, credentials, or a connected service.
1. Open the starter#
Open your first message and choose Use this workflow. The app creates your own inactive copy. You can also download its workflow file and choose Import workflow in the workflow library.
The graph has three nodes: Start, Variable, and another Variable. The first Variable stores a name. The next one uses it in a greeting.
2. Inspect the parameters#
Select the first Variable node. Its Variables list contains a variable named name with the value Builder. Change the value to your own name if you like.
Select the next Variable. It creates greeting from Hello, {{name}}!. The braces tell Blokboard to read the value produced earlier on this path.
3. Run and check the result#
Use the browser runtime and run the workflow once. Select the final node and inspect its execution output. With the original values, the result is:
{"greeting":"Hello, Builder!"}The Start node also produces a start time. The two connections carry execution from Start to the final node. A node placed on the canvas without a path from Start will not run.
4. Make it yours#
Change the name and run again. Then change the greeting to Welcome, {{name}}.. Inspect the resolved value after each run.
Next, learn nodes and connections, or try route a sample balance to add a decision.
