Add notes to your Visual Automations

Did you know you can make your life easier and add notes to specific nodes in your Visual Automations? Click the "Add notes" icon in the top left of a node to type and save your notes. Learn more about adding notes to your Visual Automations.

How you can use notes in your Visual Automations

  • Give your future self a refresher: If you've set some interesting logic in a Condition node, you might jot down a short description of how it works to save your future self some time.
  • Remind yourself to change something later: If you know you'll want to update a node in the future, write it down in a note. For example, maybe you will want to add a new Product trigger to kick off an existing Visual Automation. Jot it down so you can remember to update it later!
  • Add context for your team: If you have multiple team members that work in your account, it can help everyone to add notes explaining the purpose of certain nodes in your Visual Automations.
