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!
How to Use It?
Select: Choose Custom Code action in your workflow.
Activate AI: Click "Build with AI" to open the AI assistant.
Describe: Input your desired functionality (e.g., "I have an API that returns a date in MM-DD-YYYY format. Can you help me convert it to YYYY-MM-DD.").
Generate: Click Generate and let AI craft the code for you.
Regenerate - Want to make any changes in the Code, mention the changes in the text box and click on "Regenerate"
Implement: Review the output and click Use Code to insert it into your workflow.
Use Cases
Data Formatting – Automatically format phone numbers or dates to match your preferred style.
API Integration – Generate code to connect with external services via HTTP requests.
Mathematical Calculations – Compute interest rates, discount percentages, or other formulas dynamically.
String Manipulation – Extract key details from text, such as email addresses from subject lines.
Conditional Logic – Implement custom decision-making processes, like routing leads based on specific criteria.
