About this guide

FlowForge is a no-code/low-code automation studio for the entire Velaxe workspace. Start from events like new tickets, chat handoffs, missed calls, payment failures, file uploads, cron schedules, or signed webhooks. Add conditions, transforms, and iterators, then run actions across Agent Desk, LiveConnect, PulseGate, VoiceLink, Chronicle, ActionDesk, PayStream, SecureStore, InsightLake, ProductCatalog, and popular third‑party apps.

Designed for reliability and safety, FlowForge ships with idempotent execution, retries with backoff, rate limits, approvals for sensitive steps, environments (Dev/Staging/Prod), rollouts, and detailed run logs. Metrics are exposed via Prometheus so SREs can set SLOs and alerts.
