Create logical flows by connecting different nodes (functional blocks). As you can in the screen below, These are the pre-built functional nodes that can be used to create workflows without writing lines of code. Nodes in the workflow will reduce code complexity and written work. The flow of the algorithm can be created using nodes in the workflow application. You can develop, connect to the database, OAuth, Integration, Execute and deploy using code.
Nodes brief description:
OAuth: Integrate your Authentication with the OAuth node.
Rest: Integrate your workflow with your web infrastructure using JSON. Push or retrieve data from other applications.
Session Step: Set the session information of the user in the central storage.
Redirect: for the Redirect step.
Send Step: To send the results of the HTTP request to the client.
SQL select step: Execute a select query and fetch the records.
Send notification: To send customized notifications by entering text into the message field.
ZapUp: Set actions from various third-party applications to your flow using the Zapup node.
Add More: You can add more custom nodes by connecting with plugins. For example, you can connect with Database, Auth, Developers, Amazon, Google, and Utilities.
Java Code Executor: It is used to execute Java code.
Condition: Used to check multiple conditions in your workflow.
If Condition: To create an If condition in the loop.
JS Code: Used to execute the uploaded JS Code.
Emit Event: It is an Event Step.
Switch Case: Evaluate a series of conditions and run the code corresponding to the true ones.
Add more: You can add more custom nodes by connecting with plugins. For example, you can connect with Database, Auth, Developers, Amazon, Google, and Utilities. You can add more nodes by clicking on Add More node in the workflow.
There are various types of customized nodes in each form, such as Database, Authentication, Developers, Amazon, Google, and Utilities. You can add the node by clicking on Add this.
The most commonly used HTTP verbs are listed below in the Methods section, where you can create an application method to work with. Enter the expression of the method followed for the application and click Save
Method Name Brief Overview:
Get: To retrieve or get the data for the application
Post: To update or post any data for the application
Put: To upload or put the data for the application
Delete: To delete data permanently
Options: which is used to create options in the process workflow
Trace: It helps to track the application
Head: To create a header for the application
Patch: Patch code for your application.
Drag and Drop the selected node onto the work field.
A pop-up window will appear, enter the details, and click on the Save button.
Create a workflow with the nodes and connect them all according to the flow.
Custom web application development is a method of designing and developing unique web apps tailored to your specific business needs using prebuilt templates and pages.
A template is a form, mold, or pattern used as a guide for designing web applications and creating interactive forms. You can design the page by choosing appropriate components and grids. You can design by selecting from any of the templates available such as Single Step Page, Page Wizard, and Custom Page.
Single Step Page: You can design a web app using components, add fields using smart fields, and create different grids using Grids in the Single Step Page.
Page Wizard: It is made up of a series of input screens or steps that are linked together to allow users to perform infrequently performed tasks.
Custom Page: You can make a custom page by creating a template and writing JavaScript and CSS code on the custom page.
Create a customized Web Page by clicking Add Page. With a few clicks, you can create forms, manage forms, and collect responses. That is, you can design your own forms or use the built-in templates. In form management, you can use features such as preview, clone, and edit. Lastly, send a form via email or embed a form on a website to collect responses. Let’s look at the features required to create the web page.
Components: An application component is a self-contained unit of functionality that includes drag-and-drop functionality.
Once you click on any of the templates, you will see the window below. In the components dropdown is shown on the left, you can see Text Box, Line Text, Link, Paragraph, Heading, List, Radio Group, Checkbox Group, Dropdown, Checkbox, Date Time, Date, Time, Textarea, Number, Phone Number, Upload, Email, Password, Website, Address, Rating, Verify Human, Location, Hidden, Signature, Radio Image Options
Smart Fields: Smart fields allow application users to quickly access specific information that would otherwise require time.
Grids: Using the Grids option in the template, you can easily select the number of grids based on your requirement. You can design with a custom grid up to 12 dimensions.
To create your custom apps faster, you will need a visual designer. However, here you simply need to choose your user interface components, and your application will be built in no time.
To build an app with a custom page, firstly, enter the name and add a page URL.
You can use a template, or write Javascript or CSS code. By clicking on the Cache Page dropdown option, you can also disable or enable the cache page.
