- Worth noticing
- Recorded workflows use clicked controls rather than screen coordinates; changed workflows lose approval and must be checked again.
Field notes
The workflow editor example uses Windows Character Map, with a text input and a result field, to illustrate how a desktop action becomes a job. The site describes local execution at 127.0.0.1, token-authenticated requests, and sequential job handling; it also says that changing a workflow clears its approval. Its preview is explicitly non-interactive, so the homepage demonstrates the interface rather than letting visitors test a job.
