Nfig modes

Nfig offers two modes of workflow creation:

  • Autonomous mode: This mode allows you to build workflows without the need of specifying each of the steps in a workflow.
  • Light mode: This mode allows you to build workflows by specifying each of the steps in a workflow. Providing you granular control over the workflows.

Workflow Creation Interface

The workflow creation interface allows you to build, test, and debug web automation workflows efficiently. It provides a comprehensive environment where you can set up each step of your automation and view real-time feedback.

1. Workflow Steps Panel (Left Side)

  • This area is where you define the sequence of actions for your automation. Each action or step in the workflow is represented by a box containing a short description of the task. You can add, remove, or modify these steps as required.
  • Each step has a Play button on the left, allowing you to run individual steps in isolation. This is useful for testing specific parts of your workflow without executing the entire sequence.
  • For full execution, you can select Run All at the top, which will simulate the entire workflow in sequence.

2. Live Preview (Right Side)

  • The right side of the interface displays a Live Preview of your automation. During execution, this panel shows a real-time view of the web interactions taking place, allowing you to observe how each step is performed on the website.
  • The live preview provides visual feedback, helping you verify that each action in your workflow behaves as expected.

3. Activity Log (Bottom Left)

  • Below the workflow steps, the Activity Log captures a detailed record of actions and events during the workflow execution. Each log entry provides information about the status and output of each step, such as whether it completed successfully or encountered an error.
  • This log is especially useful for troubleshooting and understanding the behavior of your automation. For instance, it may log interactions like “Memorizing the information,” “Scrolling down to capture content,” or “Sending email.”

4. Execution Summary

  • Once the workflow is completed, a summary message appears confirming a successful run. It provides options to rerun the workflow if needed or save it for future use. This summary ensures you know the outcome of the automation and allows you to repeat or modify the workflow as required.

5. Controls

  • The interface includes additional controls at the bottom for Authentication and Proxy Status, allowing you to adjust these settings based on your automation needs.

Usage Tips

  • Use the Run All button to execute the entire workflow and test it end-to-end.
  • For more granular testing, run individual steps using the play button next to each one.
  • Monitor the Live Preview to ensure that each step is interacting with the website as intended.
  • Refer to the Activity Log for detailed insights into each action, especially when troubleshooting.
