A short glossary of the terms you’ll see throughout NoClick and these docs.

​
Workflow

A graph of connected nodes on the canvas. It can be an automation, an AI agent setup, a web app, or all three at once. You build workflows visually or by describing them to the AI builder. See The canvas.

​
Node

A single unit of work in a workflow. Nodes fall into a few categories:
CategoryWhat it doesLearn more
TriggerStarts a run: schedule, webhook, form, inbound email, or app eventTriggers
IntegrationTalks to an external service like Slack, Google Sheets, or LinearIntegrations
LogicControls flow: branching, loops, filters, delays, approvals, codeBranching
InterfaceA block in your app’s UI: forms, text, uploads, custom componentsInterface blocks
AI agentAn LLM with tools that reasons across steps and integrationsAI agents
See Configuring nodes for how to set a node up.

​
Edge and data references

An edge connects two nodes and carries data from one to the next. Inside a node’s config you reference upstream outputs (for example, a field from the previous node’s result) by dragging them in or typing a reference. See Data references.

​
Run

One execution of a workflow, started manually, by a trigger, or via the API. Each run records every node’s inputs and outputs so you can replay it later. See Running and testing and Execution logs.

​
Credential

A stored connection to an external service: an OAuth login, an API key, or a custom OAuth client. Nodes reference credentials instead of holding secrets in their config. See Connecting accounts.

​
Credit

NoClick’s usage unit. 1 credit equals $0.25 of underlying provider cost. Credits cover things like AI tokens on NoClick’s keys and AI builder generations; runs on your own credentials and keys are free. See What costs credits.

​
Organization

A shared workspace for a team. Members collaborate on the same workflows, and organization runs bill the owner’s credit pool. See Organizations.

​
Template

A published workflow others can browse and fork from the template gallery. See Using templates.
