Library
The Library is a curated catalog of pre-built automation building blocks. Browse it to find ready-made workflows, node configurations, and scripts you can fork into your account with a single click.
Library content is published and maintained by the AutoSage team. Users can browse and fork items freely — adding or editing Library entries requires admin access.
What's in the Library
Four item types are available:
| Item type | What it is | How you use it |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | A complete visual automation DAG with trigger, action, and decision nodes | Click Use Workflow to fork it into your Workflows page as a draft |
| Node | A single pre-configured trigger, action, or decision node | Click Copy Node to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it into the Workflow Editor |
| Script | A ready-to-run script body (PowerShell, Shell, or Python) | Click Fork Script to create a personal copy in your Script library |
| Module | Reserved for Ansible playbooks and Terraform configurations | Coming soon — items show a "Coming soon" badge |
Browsing the Library
Filter tabs
Tabs across the top of the Library page let you narrow by type: All, Workflows, Nodes, and Scripts. Select a tab to show only that type.
Free-text search
The search box filters by name, description, tags, and category. Results update after a ~400 ms debounce — no need to press Enter.
Select a type tab first, then type in the search box to narrow within that type. Filtering by type before searching is faster than scanning all categories.
Grid and list view
A toggle in the top-right corner of the Library switches between grid view (3-column card layout) and list view (compact horizontal rows). Both views show identical metadata.
Library cards
Each card (or list row) displays:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The item's display name |
| Type | Workflow, Node, Script, or Module |
| Category | A top-level grouping (e.g. "Monitoring", "Maintenance", "Notifications") |
| Tags | Searchable labels describing the item's purpose or target platform |
| Author | The Library contributor (typically "AutoSage Team") |
| Downloads | Total number of times this item has been forked |
| Verified badge | A purple checkmark on items reviewed and approved by the AutoSage team |
Previewing a workflow
Workflow cards include a Preview button. Clicking it opens a read-only canvas showing the full node graph: trigger, action, and decision nodes with their connections, color-coded by type (green = trigger, blue = action, amber = decision). No credential or secret values are shown.
The preview shows which nodes reference vault credentials. Make sure you have matching servers and credentials saved in your Key Vault before forking — vault bindings are stripped on fork and must be re-linked in the Workflow Editor.
Modules (coming soon)
The Modules category is reserved for Ansible playbooks, Terraform configurations, and similar infrastructure-as-code items. Module cards in the current Library show a Coming soon badge and cannot be forked. This feature is on the roadmap.
What's next
- Using Library Items — fork workflows, copy nodes, and fork scripts into your account.
- Workflow Editor Guide — configure forked workflows in the canvas editor.
- Plans & Pricing — plan limits apply on fork (5 workflows and 10 scripts on Free).
