Node palette
The sidebar panel used to browse and add nodes to the canvas.
The node palette is a 280 px-wide sidebar permanently visible on the left side of the canvas editor. It lists every available node type, organised into labelled categories, and is the primary way to add steps to a Workflow.
Browsing by category
Nodes are grouped into colour-coded categories:
| Category | Colour |
|---|---|
| Triggers | Pink |
| Conditional | Purple |
| Arrays | Yellow |
| Scripts | Yellow |
| Templates | Blue |
| Database | Green |
| Marketing | Pink |
| Storage | Green |
| External | Blue |
| AI | Purple |
| Calendar | Green |
| Pipelines | Amber |
| General | Gray |
Click a category header to collapse or expand it. Use the expand all and collapse all icon buttons in the top-right corner of the palette to toggle every category at once.
Searching
Type in the search box at the top of the palette. The list filters in real time, matching node names across all categories. Clear the box to restore all categories.
Adding a node to the canvas
Drag to position: Grab any node card (the cursor changes to a grab hand) and drop it anywhere on the canvas. EzFlow converts the drop position to graph coordinates and places the node there.
Right-click the canvas: Right-click any empty area to open the quick-add menu and choose a node type. The node is placed at the click position.
From an output handle: Drag from a node's output handle into empty space. The quick-add menu opens pre-filtered to only those node types whose inputs are compatible with the handle's data type.
What's in a node card
Each card in the palette shows:
- An icon for the node category.
- The node name in bold.
- A short description of what the node does.
For the full specification of every node — inputs, outputs, and configuration options — see the Node reference.
