Automation design

Map the workflow before you build the automation

Talk through the trigger, the steps, the branches, and the error paths. Get a diagram that you and the client agree on before you open n8n, Make, or Zapier.

Free plan, no card. Starter $4.99 and Pro $9.99 per month.

Example: the flow Wavelength builds from the walkthrough below.

Agree before you build

The client signs off on a diagram, not on a description. Rework drops when the scope is clear.

Plan the error paths

Say what happens when a step fails. The branch goes on the map before it breaks in production.

Hand over a clear map

Export the flow as a PNG or PDF for the handover document, or share a link with no login.

From the conversation to the map

This is an example walkthrough. Wavelength places each part on the canvas as it hears it.

What someone says"When the form is submitted, we enrich the lead. If the score is over 50, create a deal and ping the rep. Otherwise, add them to the nurture sequence."

What Wavelength builds

Trigger: Form submitted
Step: Enrich the lead
Decision: Is the score over 50?
Yes branch: Create a deal and notify the rep
No branch: Add to the nurture sequence

Features for automation design

Live diagram building

Hold the mic and talk. Actors, systems, decisions, and data stores appear on the canvas as you name them.

n8n workflow export

Export the flow as an n8n workflow .json file, a skeleton to build the automation from.

Edit by voice or text

Ask for a change, for example "add an approval step after review", and the AI edits the flow.

Dashed amber inferred edges

A connection that the AI inferred, and did not hear, shows as a dashed amber line until you confirm it.

Share links

Send a link to a flow. The person who opens it does not need an account.

Open file exports

Export to PNG, PDF, PowerPoint, draw.io, Mermaid, and BPMN 2.0. Your diagrams do not get locked in.

Common questions

Can Wavelength export to n8n, Make, or Zapier?

Wavelength exports an n8n workflow .json file as a skeleton to build from. For Make and Zapier, build the automation from the agreed diagram.

Can I map an existing automation?

Yes. Describe it out loud, or paste the steps as text, and Wavelength draws it.

Can my client see the diagram without an account?

Yes. Send a share link. The person who opens it does not need an account.
