Workflow Designer

The Workflow Designer is the core development environment within Talos. It is a powerful, graphical "low-code" application that allows you to design, debug, and manage complex automation workflows using an intuitive flowchart-based interface.

Workspace Layout​

The Designer interface is divided into four primary areas, each serving a specific purpose in the automation lifecycle. Click on a zone to learn more about its functionality:

1. The Viewport​

The central workspace where workflows are rendered as dynamic flowcharts. Supports panning, zooming, and direct action manipulation.

2. The Actions Menu​

The library of building blocks. Drag and drop automation steps directly into your project.

3. The Management Sidebar​

Manage your process properties, variables, event triggers, and captured GUI elements.

4. The Output Panel​

Monitor real-time logs and debug your workflow with interactive error highlighting.

Core Features​

Multi-Tab Editing​

Debugging & Execution​

Test your logic step-by-step using built-in play, pause, and step-over controls.

Visual Recording​

Use the integrated recorder to generate workflow steps automatically by performing actions on your screen.
