Building integrations should be fast, efficient, and adaptable — enabling teams to automate processes without unnecessary complexity. With Celigo’s March release, the new Flow Builder introduces a modern UI, improved navigation, and new productivity features to enhance usability and performance.

Designed for both business users and developers, the new Flow Builder simplifies integration development with smarter automation, reusable components, and built-in error handling. These enhancements make it easier than ever to connect applications and streamline workflows.

What’s new?

  • Compact view optimizes screen space, reducing clutter while keeping essential tools accessible.
  • Redesigned tool menu helps users quickly find the right options without searching through multiple menus.
  • Clone option allows users to duplicate any step instantly, eliminating the need for manual rebuilding.
  • Flow step bottom bar provides a clearer view of attached tools, making it easier to track modifications.
  • Simplified branch merge/unmerge options for easier branch management.
  • Refreshed icons and a cleaner UI create a more polished, modern experience.
  • New UI toggle lets users switch between the classic and updated experience at their own pace. The new and classic UIs are fully compatible, so you can switch back and forth without losing work.

A smarter way to build integrations

At the core of Flow Builder is its visual programming model, which allows users to:

  • Drag and drop integration steps
  • Define logic without writing code
  • Connect applications efficiently

Every flow is structured and interactive, providing a real-time view of how data moves across systems. Instead of manually configuring each step, users can leverage prebuilt templates, reusable components, and guided interactions to build integrations faster and more accurately.

Flow Builder also takes a data-driven approach to integration. Users can preview how data flows between applications at any stage, ensuring transformations work as expected before deployment. Real-time validation eliminates guesswork so that users can troubleshoot and refine integrations instantly.

AI and automation reduce complexity

Flow Builder simplifies integration development with AI-powered tools that assist with field mapping and scripting:

  • AI code assistants generate JavaScript, SQL, SOQL, GraphQL, and Handlebars transformations based on natural language descriptions.
  • Reusable components eliminate redundant work—any integration step (export, import, mapping, script) can be repurposed across multiple flows, reducing setup time and ensuring consistency.

For example, if a team builds a flow to sync customer records between NetSuite and Salesforce, they can reuse that same transformation logic for other integrations without rebuilding it from scratch.

Built-in error handling

Managing integration errors can be time-consuming and complex, often requiring custom logic and manual troubleshooting.

Celigo’s Flow Builder eliminates this burden with built-in exception management that proactively detects, categorizes, and resolves errors, keeping workflows running smoothly.

  • Automatic error resolution reduces disruptions by retrying failed records due to server-side issues like API rate limits or network timeouts.
  • Proactive issue detection flags errors such as missing fields or misconfigured data, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed.
  • Exception management dashboard enables users to categorize, assign, and track errors to streamline resolution and improve visibility.

A more streamlined, intuitive experience

The Flow Builder is the most powerful, user-friendly integration experience available. With an intuitive visual approach, AI-powered assistance, built-in error handling, and a streamlined UI, Celigo enables teams to build integrations faster, with less effort, and greater accuracy.
