Steps Overview

Steps are the building blocks of a QuickFlo workflow. Each step performs a single action — making an HTTP request, setting a variable, branching on a condition, or returning a response. You configure each step using the visual form builder in the workflow editor.

Step	What it does
HTTP	Make requests to external APIs with params, headers, body, and retry settings
Set Variable	Store key-value pairs in $vars that persist across the workflow
Return	Terminate execution and send a response (webhook, form, or sub-workflow)
Control Flow	Branch with if/switch conditions and loop with for-each
Sub-Workflow	Execute another workflow as a reusable nested step
Working with Files	Read, write, download, and manage files in managed or BYO cloud storage
AI Steps	LLM calls for text and structured data, plus autonomous agents with tools
Working with Data	Map, filter, reduce, sort, group by, and join arrays
Audio	Convert formats, trim by time or silence, merge, extract from video, and probe metadata
Speech	Multi-provider speech-to-text and text-to-speech (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Google Cloud, AWS)
Crypto	Hash, HMAC, AES/RSA encrypt/decrypt, and key generation

Note

QuickFlo includes many more step types beyond what’s listed here — integration steps for Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, email, and others. Open the step library in the workflow builder to browse everything available.
