TABLE OF CONTENTS

Overview:

Writing custom code in workflows just got smarter, faster, and easier—thanks to AI! We’re thrilled to introduce Code with AI (Beta), enabling users to generate custom code snippets with just a simple description.

Previous Behaviour:

  • Previously, creating custom code within workflows required users to write JavaScript code from scratch, which could be time-consuming and required programming expertise.
  • Manually map input properties from previous workflow steps to use within the code.
  • Test and debug code manually before implementation.
  • This process demanded a significant investment of time and technical skill.

What’s New?

  • Now we have AI-Assisted Code Generation. With Code with AI, the process is streamlined:
  • AI-Powered Code Generation – Describe the desired functionality in plain language, and AI will generate JavaScript code for you.
  • Automated Property Integration – AI intelligently incorporates relevant input properties based on your description.
  • One-Click Implementation – Quickly review and insert AI-generated code into your workflow.
  • Regenerate if Needed – Not happy with the first result? Click Generate again for a fresh version.
Pro Tip: 
Be as specific as possible in your prompt for the best results!
