Recipes
End-to-end tutorials for common workflows. Each recipe walks from blank canvas to working automation, with the exact node configuration, expressions, and example data.
Use them to learn by example, or as a starting point for your own automation.
Expressions in the recipes follow Flero's syntax: {{ $node["Node Name"].output.field }} reads another node's output by its name, and {{ $trigger.payload.field }} reads the trigger's data. Expressions look values up. They do not calculate. See Expressions.

How recipes are structured
Every recipe has:
- The goal: what you'll build and why.
- Prerequisites: credentials, accounts and skills needed.
- Finished workflow: a diagram of the end result.
- Step-by-step build: exact node configurations.
- Try it: sample input and expected output.
- Variations: ways to extend.
- Troubleshooting: common problems.
Tips for using recipes
- Build in a separate workspace first. Recipes use real credentials, real APIs and real money. Keep production apart while you learn.
- Don't skip the "Try it" step. A recipe that works in your hands is a recipe you've learned.
- Read the linked node pages as you go. Recipes lean on the Nodes and Expressions sections.
- Modify deliberately. Adapt one piece at a time so you can isolate what broke.
