The Board Editor is your main tool for creating and editing boards. It is a visual tool that allows you to create and edit boards by dragging and dropping components onto the board.
When placing an App node on the board editor, you will need to select the Connection (from your previously connected
app) - that you wish to use to make your requests against. Depending on the method you used to connect to the app - this
may be an API Key, or your account that you logged into on the specific external system.App nodes consist of multiple Operations - these are the individual endpoints/functions that are available for each app.
For example, the Create Contact operation for the HubSpot app.
Action nodes are the tools you would use to perform various forms of logic within your workflow. They can be used to
transform data, perform conditional logic, and more.Read more about Action Nodes here.
Edges are the line connections between nodes. They define the flow of data through your workflow. Edges can be connected
to both App and Action nodes, with some Actions having multiple connection points (Datamapper).
The Config tab displays the listener urls for any webhooks that you have present on your board. These URL’s are
generated once you publish. You will need these to tell your external systems where to send data events to, so that
Switchboard can process them. Each URL is unique.
The Execution Logs are an advanced feature for debugging issues within your flows. These display the internal logs of
Switchboard as processed by each node. You can use these to debug issues within your workflow. You can also use these to
see the data that is being passed between nodes.
