Backend applications are powered by complex business logic. Traditionally, defining this logic takes weeks of planning and months of development. With Mindbricks, you can design and implement these workflows in minutes.Our AI assistant, Agent Ada, can generate workflows automatically. However, if your requirements go beyond AI-generated defaults, you can build and customize workflows directly with our Business Workflow Editor—a visual, flexible tool designed for speed and precision.

Getting Started

When you create a new business API in the editor, you’ll first provide:

• Name – a unique identifier for your API

• CRUD type – Create, Read, Update, or Delete

• Related data object – the entity your API will operate on

Once created, you’ll see a pipeline composed of milestones. These milestones represent the lifecycle of your workflow, starting with the StartBusinessApi milestone.

From here, you can drag and drop actions between milestones to define how the workflow behaves. Each action is configurable—click on it to set properties, conditions, and error handling.

Available Actions

Mindbricks provides a library of ready-to-use actions. Here are a few commonly used ones:

Create CRUD Action

Use this to perform CRUD operations on your data objects.

Configurable fields:

• Name – label for your action

• Description – optional documentation

• Condition – logic to determine when this action runs

• On Action Error – specify error handling behavior

Throw Error

Manually trigger an error within the workflow.

Configurable fields:

• Context Property Name – property containing the error details

Write To Response

Send data back in the API response.

Configurable fields:

• Select a data object

• Parameter in request

• Auto parameters (where applicable)

Loop Action

Enables repeating a set of actions until a condition is met.

When you add a loop action, two nodes appear: Loop Start and Loop End. Any actions placed between them will repeat until the condition is false. This is especially useful for iterative operations, such as processing collections or batch tasks.

Implementing Integrations

Modern applications rarely operate in isolation—they need to connect with external services, APIs, and third-party platforms. Mindbricks makes integration seamless through its Integration Library, which provides pre-built connectors for popular services and protocols.

Setting Up Integrations

Before you can use integrations in your workflows, you need to configure them at the project level:

1. Navigate to Project Settings – access your project's integration dashboard

2. Browse Available Integrations – explore our curated library of connectors

3. Select and Configure – choose the integrations relevant to your use case

4. Authenticate – provide API keys, OAuth tokens, or connection strings as required

Once configured, these integrations become available as action blocks in your workflow editor's action bar.

Using Integrations in Workflows

Once enabled, integration actions appear alongside standard actions in your workflow editor. Simply drag them into your pipeline and configure:

• Connection Settings – select from your pre-configured integrations

• Action Parameters – define what data to send or retrieve

• Response Handling – specify how to process the integration's response

• Error Handling – configure fallback behavior for integration failures

Custom Integrations

Need to connect with a service not in our library? Mindbricks supports custom HTTP integrations where you can define:

• REST API endpoints

• Authentication methods

• Request/response schemas

• Retry and timeout policies

This flexibility ensures you can integrate with virtually any web service or API.

Experiment and Iterate

The workflow editor is designed for exploration. Start with simple pipelines, experiment with actions, and refine your business logic iteratively. The visual interface makes it easy to see how data flows and how conditions affect execution.

Closing Thoughts

Mindbricks makes complex business logic accessible, customizable, and fast to implement. Whether you rely on Agent Ada for AI-generated workflows or prefer hands-on control with the editor, you can build APIs that fit your exact requirements—without weeks of coding.
