## How to use this catalog

This page is a practical reference, not an exhaustive schema dump.

Use it to understand the major step categories you will encounter when building workflows, then use the workflow editor for the latest exact step list in your workspace.

## Common built-in workflow steps

Some of the most important built-in steps and categories include:

* **AI prompt** for summarization, classification, drafting, and extraction
* **HTTP request** for calling external services
* **Fetch** for retrieving content from URLs
* **Fetch RSS** for working with feed-based sources
* **Send email** for outbound communication
* **Set state** and **Get state** for workflow memory-like state handling
* **If** for branching decisions
* **Wait** for delayed execution
* **End** for early workflow exit

These steps form the backbone of many useful workflows, even before app integrations are added.

## Integration steps

In addition to built-in steps, Workflow Machine also provides app-specific steps through integrations.

Examples include actions for:

* Slack
* Gmail
* Notion
* Google Workspace apps
* Microsoft apps
* Stripe
* Telegram
* Dropbox

The available app steps depend on which integrations the product currently supports in your workspace.

## A practical way to choose steps

When choosing a step, ask:

* is this step for logic, AI, or an app action
* what input does it need
* what output should it produce
* what step will use that output next

If those answers are clear, the step is usually a good fit.
