A Board defines a single integration between one or more systems. The platform provides users a drag-and-drop workflow builder which can be used to connect systems together, alongside additional tools to perform your own business logic such as filtering and transformations. When a Board is deployed, Versori creates dedicated compute resources to execute your integrations. Any webhook receivers used in your integrations get a dedicated URL which you can use to connect the external system to your integration.

Glossary

In order to understand Boards, it is important to understand the following terms:
  • Board: A collection of steps that define a workflow.
  • Step: A single piece of functionality within a Board.
  • Edge: A connection between two steps.
  • Execution: A single run of a Board.
  • Trigger: A step that starts a Board.
  • Message: The data that flows between steps.

​
Steps

A Board is defined by a series of steps, where the output of a step feeds into zero or more subsequent steps, and each step provides a single piece of functionality. Trigger steps are the start-point of a Board, and when they are triggered an Execution is created and the steps are processed in order. A step may be connected to multiple other steps, which allows for branching the flow of data. When this is configured, the branches execute in parallel. A step may also be configured to output multiple pieces of data, for example the Splitter tool takes a data array and outputs each element of the array as a separate message There are many different types of steps available, and more are being added all the time. These fall into two categories: Connectors and Tools.

​
Connector Step

A Connector step is a step that interacts with an external system and references a Connector which defines its behaviour. These can be one of two types: Actions or Triggers. Actions are steps that perform a specific operation on an external system, such as creating a new record in a CRM, while Triggers are steps that wait for an external system to perform an operation to Versori, such as a webhook.

​
Tool Step

There are many types of tools available in Versori, each providing a different piece of functionality. These are explained in more detail in the Tools section, but are listed here for reference:
  • Transformer
  • Filter
  • Data Builder
  • Trigger (Manual or Scheduled)
  • Data Mapper
  • Splitter
  • Delay
  • Responder
  • Email
  • Variables
  • Webhook
  • Code
