- 2,053 workflows with meaningful, searchable names
- 365 unique integrations across popular platforms
- 29,445 total nodes with professional categorization
- Quality assurance - All workflows analyzed and categorized
Our intelligent naming system converts technical filenames into readable titles:
- Before:
2051_Telegram_Webhook_Automation_Webhook.json - After:
Telegram Webhook Automation - 100% meaningful names with smart capitalization
- Automatic integration detection from node analysis
The search interface includes a dropdown filter that lets you browse 2,000+ workflows by category.
The system includes an automated categorization feature that organizes workflows by service categories to make them easier to discover and filter.
-
Run the categorization script
python create_categories.py -
Service Name Recognition The script analyzes each workflow JSON filename to identify recognized service names (e.g., "Twilio", "Slack", "Gmail", etc.)
-
Category Mapping Each recognized service name is matched to its corresponding category using the definitions in
context/def_categories.json. For example:- Twilio β Communication & Messaging
- Gmail β Communication & Messaging
- Airtable β Data Processing & Analysis
- Salesforce β CRM & Sales
-
Search Categories Generation The script produces a
search_categories.jsonfile that contains the categorized workflow data -
Filter Interface Users can then filter workflows by category in the search interface, making it easier to find workflows for specific use cases
The categorization system includes the following main categories:
- AI Agent Development
- Business Process Automation
- Cloud Storage & File Management
- Communication & Messaging
- Creative Content & Video Automation
- Creative Design Automation
- CRM & Sales
- Data Processing & Analysis
- E-commerce & Retail
- Financial & Accounting
- Marketing & Advertising Automation
- Project Management
- Social Media Management
- Technical Infrastructure & DevOps
- Web Scraping & Data Extraction
You can help expand the categorization by adding more service-to-category mappings (e.g., Twilio β Communication & Messaging) in context/defs_categories.json.
Many workflow JSON files are conveniently named with the service name, often separated by underscores (_).
