Workflow JSON format

NodePilot stores a workflow's representation as JSON. nodes contains triggers and activities. edges contains the connections between the nodes.

The following example matches the workflow from the Quick start:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "id": "manual-trigger",
      "type": "activity",
      "position": { "x": 80, "y": 120 },
      "data": {
        "label": "Manual start",
        "activityType": "manualTrigger",
        "config": {
          "title": "Check host",
          "parameters": []
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "read-hostname",
      "type": "activity",
      "position": { "x": 360, "y": 120 },
      "data": {
        "label": "Read host name",
        "activityType": "runScript",
        "outputVariable": "hostInfo",
        "config": {
          "engine": "auto",
          "timeoutSeconds": 30,
          "script": "$env:COMPUTERNAME"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "edges": [
    {
      "id": "manual-to-script",
      "source": "manual-trigger",
      "target": "read-hostname",
      "type": "labeled",
      "data": {
        "label": "Always",
        "disabled": false
      }
    }
  ]
}

For an import through the web UI, the workflow definition is embedded in an export envelope. A complete importable example is at the end of the Quick start.
