Blocks

There are six categories of blocks in GoLess:

• General: To conduct a general action within the workflow. For example, make an HTTP request or run another workflow.

• Browser: To control the browser.

• Web Interaction: To interact with the active tab of the workflow. Prior to using blocks in this category, you should use a New Tab or Active Tab block.

• Control Flow: To add logic to the workflow.

• Online Services: Services that connect to GoLess.

• Data: Change or manage variables or tables of a workflow.

Block Settings

The blocks are accompanied by a menu and parameters that may be configured.

Menu

To find the block menu, place your mouse on a block in the editor's canvas, and it will show up above the block.

• Delete: remove the block

• Block settings: open up current block parameters.

• Move block to group blocks: move the block to the Group blocks by dragging and dropping the icon.

• Enable/disable block: deactivate block

• Run: execute the workflow from the active block.

• Edit: access block properties or click twice on the block.

You can also right-click on the block for more menus.
