## **What is the Advanced Builder in Workflows?**

The Advanced Builder is a fully visual, freeform canvas for building automations. Drag, drop, and connect multiple trigger paths, parallel branches, and complex logic in one view—without changing how workflows execute. It’s designed for flexibility, performance, and collaboration.

Bulk Selection Tools add context-aware actions—Enable/Disable, Format Selection, and Add Sticky Note. By acting on many nodes at once you can refactor branches, declutter spacing, and annotate logic in seconds—ideal for very large workflows.

This upgrade comprises four enhancements within the GHL Customer Care Workflow Builder: Stats Mode, Sticky Notes 2.0, Workflow Comments, and Right-Click Quick Actions. Together, they streamline performance reviews, team collaboration, and day-to-day editing, all while keeping your workspace visually organized.

## **Stats View**

Stats View helps you review trigger enrollment activity and communication-action performance without leaving the Workflow Builder. 

To use Stats View: 

1\. Open a workflow in the Advanced Builder. 

2\. Open Stats Mode. 

3\. Select a trigger or one of its displayed statistics. 

4\. Review the attempted, matched, and unmatched enrollment results.

For workflow triggers, Stats View displays:  
**Attempted**: Contacts evaluated by the trigger.  
**Matched**: Contacts that met the trigger conditions.  
**Unmatched**: Contacts that did not meet the trigger conditions.

## **The Canvas**

**Add & connect steps**

-   Open the **Triggers & Actions** panel.
    
-   Configure from the panel **or** drag items directly onto the canvas.
    
-   Connect nodes by dragging from the connector handle (or the **+**icon).
    
    
![Step 3 of 3: Connect nodes by dragging from the connector handle (or the + icon)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155055989412/original/neH1lwsEiNitnKprmoJTFVi9jfqESgVFFw.gif)

**Step 3 of 3: Connect nodes by dragging from the connector handle (or the + icon)**

This animation accompanies step 3 of 3 in the "The Canvas" section of "Advanced Builder for Workflows". At this point in the walkthrough you connect nodes by dragging from the connector handle (or the + icon).
- What this covers: Connect nodes by dragging from the connector handle (or the + icon).
- Controls: +, Add & connect steps, Triggers & Actions, or

Full procedure:

1. Open the Triggers & Actions panel.
2. Configure from the panel or drag items directly onto the canvas.
3. Connect nodes by dragging from the connector handle (or the + icon).  <- this image

    

### **Auto-connect steps (drag and drop)**

When you drag a trigger or action from the Triggers & Actions panel (sidebar) onto the canvas, it can auto-connect based on where you drop it:

-   Extend a branch: Drop the step on the last node in a branch to add it to the end.
-   Insert between steps: Drop the step between two connected nodes to insert it in the middle.

![Auto-connect steps (drag and drop) (image 7 of 15)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155067225359/original/7dBST391yMsPbyKqWGs2l9_I7Go3Rr146A.gif)

## **Go-To connections for Triggers & Delinked Nodes (Parallel branches)**

Trigger Go-To (set each trigger’s starting action)

Route a trigger to the **exact action** where it should start.

-   **Connect it:** Drag the trigger’s **Go-To** connector onto a target action.
    
-   **How it looks:** Trigger Go-To connections are shown as a **dashed line with an arrowhead** (normal sequential links remain **solid**).
    
-   **Execution Behavior:** When the trigger fires, the workflow **jumps directly** to the target action and continues from there.
    

![Go-To connections for Triggers & Delinked Nodes (Parallel branches) (image 8 of 15)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155069380101/original/nIFVEOUuPvWiIu47LrwtYX55qvbXqcSBbQ.jpeg)

## **Delinked nodes (independent/parallel branches)**

Create branches that don’t need to connect linearly—great for handling multiple triggers or outcomes in one canvas.

-   Build an **independent cluster** of actions anywhere.
    
-   Attach a trigger via **Go-To connection** to start on that branch.
    
-   Each branch runs **independently** within the same workflow context.
    

![Delinked branch example](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155055755867/original/x7qC1lGEGE-dcEXb3gKSm1t-XB6tFBK3Lg.jpeg)

- What this covers: Build an independent cluster of actions anywhere. Attach a trigger via Go-To connection to start on that branch. Each branch runs independently within the same workflow context.

- Next: Solid connector → normal sequential path Dashed connector with arrow → Trigger Go-To (jump to target action) Isolated cluster → Delinked branch

Full procedure:

1. Build an independent cluster of actions anywhere.
2. Attach a trigger via Go-To connection to start on that branch.
3. Each branch runs independently within the same workflow context.

**Visual cues (at a glance)**

-   **Solid connector** → normal sequential path
    
-   **Dashed connector with arrow** → **Trigger Go-To** (jump to target action)
    
-   **Isolated cluster** → **Delinked** branch
    

## **Default Path for Parallel Branches (Advanced Builder)**

In Advanced Builder workflows with multiple parallel branches, you can choose the Default Path. The Default Path controls which branch contacts enter when:

\- you run a workflow test, or

\- a contact enters this workflow from another workflow.

**How it works**

\- The root node is labeled Default Path.

\- On the first node/action in each branch, click the branch icon to set that branch as the Default Path.

\- After you set a Default Path, workflow tests and contacts entering from another workflow follow that branch.

**Visual indicators**

\- A solid trigger connector means the branch is the Default Path.

\- A dashed trigger connector means the branch is reached through a Go To connector and is not the default path.

**How to set the Default Path**

1\. Open a workflow with multiple parallel branches in Advanced Builder.

2\. On the first action of the branch you want to use, click the branch icon.

3\. Set that branch as the Default Path.

4\. Run a workflow test or enroll a contact from another workflow to validate the path.

**Example**

If your workflow has multiple reminder branches, set one branch as the Default Path so your test contact enters that reminder branch first.

## **Enable / Disable Nodes**

Turn any action/condition **off** for testing—without deleting or rewiring.

-   **Disable:** Hover a node → click **pause**.
    
-   **Enable:** Hover again → click **play**.
    
-   **Execution:** Disabled nodes are **skipped**; connections remain intact.
