Workflow Builder is an open-source, frontend-only SDK for building and embedding visual workflow editors into your application. It provides a ready-made workflow editor UI - including canvas, nodes, edges, layout and configuration panels - so you don’t have to build workflow UX from scratch. Workflow Builder focuses exclusively on the **frontend editor layer**. Execution, orchestration, and business logic remain fully under your control. ## What Workflow Builder is NOT Workflow Builder does **not**: - execute workflows - provide scheduling or orchestration - include backend logic or integrations - act as an iPaaS or automation platform The SDK outputs workflow definitions (JSON) that are meant to be executed by **your own backend**. ## Key features - Visual workflow editor (nodes, edges, layout, validation) - Configurable and extensible node system - Schema-driven properties panels - Workflow serialization to JSON - Plugin-first architecture - Back-end agnostic - Designed for embedding into SaaS products - Theming and white-label support - Design System Kit ## Typical use cases Workflow Builder is commonly used to: - embed workflow editors into B2B SaaS products - build visual rule engines and configuration tools - design AI agent and automation workflow platforms - serve as a foundation for workflow-driven products and standalone apps [![Build](https://github.com/synergycodes/workflowbuilder/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/synergycodes/workflowbuilder/actions/workflows/build.yml) ## About The Project Monorepo of [Workflow Builder](https://www.workflowbuilder.io/) - a frontend-first SDK and foundation for building workflow-driven applications. ## About this Repo This repository contains the community edition of Workflow Builder, maintained by [Synergy Codes](https://synergycodes.com/). The commercial edition is built on the same codebase and adds premium plugins. We develop everything in a private monorepo and publish releases here through an automated pipeline, which is why commit history and collaborator activity may look limited. There's a full engineering team behind this, with 15+ years of diagramming experience and 100+ shipped projects. Questions, issues, and feedback are very welcome here. ## Getting Started ### Prerequisites You'll need `node` and `pnpm` with proper versions set in the root `package.json` and `.npmrc` file. ### Installation 1. Clone the repo 2. Install packages from the root directory `pnpm i` 3.
