What is a Composer?

A Composer is the top-level orchestrator in Automations. It chains multiple automations and hooks into an ordered sequence that executes from top to bottom. Think of it as the master plan that controls which workflows run and in what order.

Creating a Composer

1

Switch to Test Mode

Composers can only be created in test mode. Use the mode toggle in the sidebar if you’re currently in live mode.
2

Click Create

Click the Create button in the composers section of the sidebar.
3

Name Your Composer

Give your composer a descriptive name that reflects its purpose.

Composer Steps

Each composer contains an ordered list of steps. Steps execute from top to bottom.

Step Types

TypeDescription
AutomationReferences a workflow built on the canvas with connected steps
SleepPauses execution for a specified duration before continuing
ReviewPauses execution and creates a review request with a configurable timeout and message
PassthroughA no-op step that passes data through without modification

Adding Steps

Click the add button in the composer sidebar to add a new step. Select the step type from the dropdown and configure it.

Reordering Steps

Drag and drop steps in the composer sidebar to reorder them. The execution order matches the visual order from top to bottom.

Enabling and Disabling Steps

Individual composer steps can be enabled or disabled. Disabled steps are skipped during execution without affecting the rest of the sequence.

Managing Composers

Deleting
