From Linear Steps to Living Pipelines
The real power of FlowManner emerges when you chain agents together. One agent researches, another writes, a third reviews — and the whole pipeline runs in a single click.
Multi-step workflows let you decompose complex tasks into discrete stages, each handled by a specialized agent. Data flows forward automatically, and you can branch, merge, or run steps in parallel.
Sequential vs. Parallel
Sequential steps run one after another — each receives the output of the previous step. Parallel steps run simultaneously and their results are merged downstream. Use sequential for dependent tasks (research → write → edit) and parallel for independent ones (analyze sales data AND scrape competitor prices).
Branching and Conditions
Add conditional branches to route execution based on output. For example, if a content review agent flags quality issues, loop back to the writer. If it passes, send to the formatter. Conditions use simple expressions evaluated against the previous step's output.
Step-by-Step
Create a New Mission
Go to Missions → New Mission. Give it a name that describes the end-to-end goal, like 'Weekly Client Report Pipeline'.
Add Your First Agent Node
Drag an agent node onto the canvas. Select the agent that handles the first stage of your workflow — typically a data gatherer or researcher.
Connect a Second Agent
Drag another agent node and connect it to the first by drawing an edge between them. The second agent will receive the first agent's output as input context.
Add a Conditional Branch
Insert a condition node between steps. Define a simple rule: if the output contains 'REVISION_NEEDED', route back to the writer; otherwise, proceed to the final step.
Configure Parallel Execution
For independent tasks, add multiple agent nodes without connecting them sequentially. Use a merge node downstream to combine their outputs into a single context for the next step.
Run and Observe
Click Run Mission and watch each step execute in real time. The live stream shows agent reasoning, tool calls, and outputs as they happen.
