Understanding the Canvas

Understanding the Workflow Canvas

The Workflow Canvas is the heart of FeedFlux Desktop. It’s a visual interface where you design automation workflows by placing and connecting modules.

Canvas Overview

Element	Description
Toolbar	Save, run, stop workflows and control canvas view
Modules Panel	List of all available automation modules to drag onto canvas
Canvas Area	The main workspace where you build your workflow
Nodes	Individual modules placed on the canvas
Connections	Lines linking nodes to define execution flow
Settings Panel	Configuration options for the selected node

---

Canvas Navigation

Action	How To
Pan/Move	Click and drag on empty canvas area
Zoom In/Out	Mouse scroll wheel, or use zoom buttons
Fit to View	Click “Fit” button to see entire workflow
Select Node	Click on any node
Multi-Select	Hold Shift and click multiple nodes, or drag selection box
Delete Node	Select node and press Delete key

Node Anatomy

Each node on the canvas has these parts:

• Input Handle (top): Where connections from previous modules attach
• Output Handle (bottom): Where connections to next modules start
• Icon: Visual indicator of module type
• Module Name: The name of the module

How Workflows Execute

Workflows in FeedFlux are linear — modules execute in sequence, from the first module to the last. There are no branching or condition nodes on the canvas itself.

Note

Some modules have internal conditions (e.g., Profile Filter can skip an action based on follower count), but this logic happens inside the module, not on the canvas.
