Getting Started with nLink

1. Working with the Canvas

nLink features a highly intuitive Drag-and-Drop canvas. You can chain nodes together seamlessly and map dynamic variables between steps using our context-aware expression engine.

• Drag output handles to input handles to create a data flow connection.
• Click any node to open its configuration panel.
• Use the magic variable selector to reference data from previous steps (e.g., {{ $json.body }}).

2. Configuring Secure Credentials

Security is our top priority. nLink completely separates your sensitive API Keys and OAuth tokens from the workflow JSON structure.

When you export a workflow or share it with the community, your credentials stay safely in your private database. Never worry about leaking keys to Github again.

3. Publishing 'Workflow-as-Node'

nLink's superpower is the ability to package your entire logic flow into a reusable single Node (Virtual Node) without writing a single line of backend Go code.

• Build a complex data processing logic once.
• Click 'Publish as Sub-Workflow' from the canvas menu.
• Your new 'Node' will instantly appear in the left sidebar for your team to drag and drop into their own workflows!
