Add extensions to a workflow

An extension adds a service's nodes to a workflow. A connection authorizes access to an account or bot. These are separate steps: adding nodes does not grant access to your accounts.

Start with an empty workflow#

Create a workflow from the dashboard and choose a blank canvas. No plugin or service connection is required. Built-in triggers and data or logic steps are available immediately.

Add an extension in the editor#

1. Open Extensions in the left sidebar.
2. In Browse, search for the service you need.
3. Choose Add to workflow.
4. Select View actions to browse its nodes and add a trigger or action.

Reuse your connection#

Connect your service once from Connections in the dashboard, or follow the connection link in the editor. Return to workflow Settings, select the existing account or bot and choose any required server or destination. Several workflows can use the same connection.

Discord sign-in identifies your Noria account; a Discord bot token authorizes your bot. For setup, see Discord, Twitch or YouTube.

Test and activate#

Configure required parameters, connect the nodes and inspect validation results. Test the draft and check its inputs and outputs. Review account access and the destination before activation: a simulation does not send real messages or prove live permissions.

Saving a draft does not update an already published version. Publish the intended version when it is ready. See testing and debugging.

Remove an extension safely#

Remove its nodes from the draft before removing the extension from In this workflow. This leaves the reusable account installation intact. Published versions retain their dependencies; removing a draft extension does not remove the plugin used by a live version.

Find parameters and examples#

Open a node's Docs link or browse the node reference. Reference pages list the available contract information; editorial examples are included where reviewed documentation is available.
