Question 1

How do I schedule a Denoflow workflow to run automatically?

Accepted Answer

Denoflow doesn't have built-in scheduling. You need to use external tools like cron on servers or CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions to trigger workflows at intervals, as explained in the FAQ with a cron example.

Question 2

Can Denoflow handle incoming webhooks directly?

Accepted Answer

No, Denoflow cannot handle webhooks directly. You must forward webhook requests through an intermediary like a GitHub Actions workflow or a custom server that executes Denoflow, as shown in the webhook example using repository_dispatch.

Question 3

Is Denoflow better than Zapier for automation?

Accepted Answer

Denoflow is better for developers who prefer code-based configuration and self-hosting, offering more control with Deno's ecosystem. Zapier is more user-friendly with a GUI but less flexible for custom code and often requires paid plans.

Question 4

How to use custom TypeScript libraries in Denoflow?

Accepted Answer

You can import any Deno module via URL in the YAML configuration, such as using 'from: https://deno.land/x/module.ts', and then call functions with 'use' or embed code in 'run' sections, as demonstrated with axiod and rss modules.

Question 5

Is Denoflow ready for production use?

Accepted Answer

The project warns it's early stage, so it's best suited for prototyping, testing, or non-critical automations. For production, consider more mature alternatives or be prepared for potential instability.

Question 6

How does Denoflow handle state persistence between runs?

Accepted Answer

Denoflow saves workflow state to JSON files or SQLite databases by default, using keys from sources for deduplication. You can configure this with the 'database' option and access state via ctx.state in scripts.
