Who This Is For / When to Use
This update is for users building or editing Workflows who want to:
Add triggers or actions faster
Reduce repetitive clicking
Visually insert steps between existing nodes
Build large or complex Workflows more efficiently
Use this feature anytime you are designing or modifying a Workflow in the Standard Builder.
What Changed
You can now:
Click and hold a trigger or action from the sidebar
Drag it directly onto the Workflow canvas
Drop it onto a visible
+marker or between existing nodes
A highlighted placeholder appears when hovering over a valid drop location, showing exactly where the step will be inserted.
This is a UI/UX enhancement only. No automation logic has changed.

Always save after configuring a newly added step.

FAQ
Does drag-and-drop change how Workflows function?
No. This update only improves how steps are added to the canvas. Workflow logic and execution remain unchanged.
Can I still use the previous click-to-add method?
Yes. Drag-and-drop is an additional option. Existing behavior remains available.
Can I drag steps after they are already added?
No. This feature applies to adding new triggers and actions from the sidebar. Editing or repositioning existing nodes follows the current builder behavior.
What happens if I close the Workflow without saving?
Unsaved steps will not be added. Always click Save after configuring a new trigger or action.
