AI-Powered Custom Code Generation in Workflows

What is AI-Powered Code Generation in Workflows?

The process of writing custom code in workflows is now smarter, faster, and more intuitive with Code with AI (Beta). This innovative feature allows users to generate JavaScript code snippets by describing their desired functionality in simple language, minimizing the need for manual coding and debugging.

Key Benefits of AI-Powered Code Generation

Leveraging AI for code generation enhances productivity and minimizes the technical barrier for users. Key advantages include:

• AI-Powered Code Generation – Simply describe what you need, and AI generates the corresponding JavaScript code.
• Automated Property Integration – AI automatically maps input properties from previous workflow steps.
• One-Click Implementation – Quickly review and insert AI-generated code into your workflow.
• Easy Regeneration – Need a different version? Click Generate again for an updated snippet.
• Enhanced Efficiency – Reduce the time and technical expertise required for custom coding.

How to Use Code with AI

Follow these steps to generate and implement custom code seamlessly within your workflows:

1. Select Custom Code Action – Choose the Custom Code action within your workflow.
   
2. Activate AI Assistance – Click "Code with AI" to open the AI-powered coding assistant.
   
3. Describe the Functionality – Provide a clear description of what you need (e.g., "I have an API that returns a date in MM-DD-YYYY format. Convert it to YYYY-MM-DD.").
   
4. Generate Code – Click Generate, and AI will create the necessary JavaScript snippet.
   
5. Review and Implement – Examine the output and click Use Code to insert it into your workflow.

Pro Tip: The more specific your prompt, the better the AI-generated code will be!

Example Use Cases

Here are some practical ways to leverage AI-powered code generation in your workflows:

• Data Formatting – Convert phone numbers or dates into a standardized format.
• API Integration – Generate code to fetch data from external services via HTTP requests.
• Mathematical Calculations – Perform real-time calculations such as interest rates or discounts.
• String Manipulation – Extract key details from text, such as pulling email addresses from subject lines.
• Conditional Logic – Implement custom decision-making processes, such as routing leads based on specific criteria.
