FlowDrop Documentation¶
Visual Workflow Automation for Drupal
FlowDrop is a powerful visual workflow editor for Drupal that enables you to build, execute, and monitor complex automation workflows without writing code. Using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, you can create sophisticated data processing pipelines, AI-powered automation, and event-driven workflows.
Think of it as n8n or Langflow but fully integrated with Drupal — leveraging your existing entities, users, and content.
