Blocks overview

Blocks are a Flow’s fundamental unit. Each block stores information or performs a task. You can configure a block to fit your specific use case. Blocks may have input nodes, output nodes, or both. You can use these nodes to connect your blocks to send information or trigger an action. A list of available Flows blocks appears below, with links to more detailed descriptions.

  • Start - The starting point for every Flow. The Start block appears automatically in every new Flow.

Tasks

  • Send Request - Gets a request from a Postman Collection and adds it to your Flow.
  • Create with AI - Generates text, images, and JSON data using AI.
  • Delay - Waits for a specified amount of time before passing information through.

Logic

  • If - Sends information to one of two outputs depending on the result of a condition.
  • Evaluate - Processes information and variables.

Looping

  • Collect - Marks the end of loops created by For and Repeat blocks.
  • For - Runs all the blocks that come after it once for each item in the input list until the Flow reaches a Collect block.
  • Repeat - Runs all the blocks between itself and a Collect block the specified number of times.

Output

  • Output - Displays the information it receives.
  • Log - Sends information to the Postman Console.

Data

  • String - Outputs the text that you enter.
  • Bool - Outputs true or false.
  • Number - Outputs a whole or decimal number that can be positive or negative.
  • Null - Outputs a null value.
  • Regex - Outputs a regular expression.
  • Select - Extracts a specified piece of information from another block's output.
  • Now - Outputs the current date and time.
  • Date - Outputs the specified date.
  • Date and time - Outputs the specified date and time.
  • List - Outputs the specified list of values.
  • Record - Structured information that can hold any of the other value block types or another record.
  • Create variable - Assigns a value to a variable that can then be accessed with the Get Variable block anywhere in the Flow.
  • Get variable - Gets the specified variable's value from anywhere in the Flow.
