## Workflows
Workflows are the foundation of automation in Altrina. Each workflow consists of a sequence of nodes that define your automation tasks. Here's how they work:
1. **Nodes**: Each node in your workflow represents a specific action or directive:
* **Directive Nodes**: Use natural language to describe what the AI should do (e.g., "Login to this website and navigate to the reports page")
* **Action Nodes**: Specify precise technical actions using JSON parameters
* Each node can pass information to subsequent nodes
2. **Visual Studio**: Build workflows using our intuitive drag-and-drop interface:
* Add nodes to define your automation steps
* Connect nodes to create a logical flow
* Edit and rearrange nodes as needed
* Save versions to track changes over time
3. **Execution**: When you run a workflow:
* Altrina executes each node in sequence
* The AI agent follows your directives and performs actions
* Data is passed between nodes automatically
* You can monitor progress in real-time
Example workflow:
* Node 1: "Login to the dashboard using credentials from my knowledge base"
* Node 2: "Navigate to the reports section"
* Node 3: "Download the latest monthly report"
* Node 4: "Extract key metrics from the report"
* Node 5: "Email the summary to the team"
You can create workflows in the Studio, then run them in several ways:
* **Run manually** from the Studio or Home page
* **Schedule** to run automatically (hourly, daily, weekly, or custom cron)
* **Email trigger** — email [tessa@altrina.com](mailto:tessa@altrina.com) to start a workflow
* **Webhook / API** — send a POST request to `/workflows/run-with-payload/{workflow_id}` with an API key (see [API Reference](/api-reference/quickstart#triggering-workflows-via-api))
## Playground
The Playground is your interactive environment for testing and experimenting with Altrina's browser agent capabilities. It provides a space where you can:
1. **Start a Session**: Navigate to the Playground to begin an interactive session where you can control the AI browser agent in real-time.
2. **Natural Language Interaction**: Simply describe what you want to do, and Altrina will execute it. For example:
* "Navigate to example.com and extract the main article"
* "Check my Gmail for important emails from last week"
* "Search for product information and compile a list"
3. **File Management**: Upload and work with various file types through the Knowledge Base:
* Documents (PDF, DOCX)
* Spreadsheets (XLSX, CSV)
* Images
* Text files
4. **Real-Time Interaction**:
* Watch the browser agent work in real-time
* Take control of the browser at any point
* Send new directives mid-execution
* View step-by-step actions and screenshots
5. **Perfect for**:
* Learning how Altrina works
* Testing workflows before automation
* Debugging and refining processes
* Experimenting with different approaches
The Playground allows you to interact with and guide the AI agent in real-time, making it perfect for exploration and testing before creating automated workflows.
