Custom nodes
Custom Nodes
Custom nodes let you package repeated logic into reusable building blocks with a cleaner setup experience.
A custom node is a reusable flow wrapped in a simpler interface.
Instead of rebuilding the same logic every time, you can expose just the inputs a user needs and hide the internal implementation behind the node.
That is useful when the logic is:
- repeated across many applications or flows
- vendor-specific and tedious to rebuild manually
- too technical to expose directly to every user
- sensitive enough that you want one approved implementation
Why Teams Use Custom Nodes
As a workspace grows, application flows can become noisy if every vendor or repeated process is assembled from scratch every time.
Custom nodes help by turning that repeated logic into a governed asset:
- Reuse one implementation in many flows
- Govern important logic centrally
- Simplify the setup for less technical users
- Standardize payload shapes and naming across the organization
Custom Nodes vs Official Integrations
Fluxyn also ships official vendor nodes. Those are different from workspace custom nodes:
- Official integrations are shipped with Fluxyn, read-only, and available directly in application flows
- Custom nodes are created and maintained by your workspace for your own use cases
