Start - CloudCruise

The Start node is where every run begins. The browser opens on its url, and execution follows the node’s to edge. Every workflow has exactly one Start node.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	Yes	URL the browser opens when the run starts. Supports variables

Examples

Static Start URL

{
  "id": "b7e9a2f1-3c4d-4a8b-9e1f-2d3c4b5a6789",
  "name": "Open login page",
  "action": "START",
  "parameters": {
    "url": "https://app.example.com/login"
  }
}

Dynamic Start URL

Open a page derived from a workflow input:

{
  "id": "b7e9a2f1-3c4d-4a8b-9e1f-2d3c4b5a6789",
  "name": "Open order",
  "action": "START",
  "parameters": {
    "url": "https://app.example.com/orders/{{context.inputs.order_id}}"
  }
}

Edges

Start uses a single to edge pointing to the first node:

{
  "edges": {
    "start-node-id": { "to": "first-node-id" }
  }
}

Notes

A run is rejected when the URL resolves to an empty or invalid value, for example because an input variable it uses is missing
Pick a start URL on the same origin as the requests or pages the workflow needs first. This matters for API Flow nodes, which send requests from the page the browser is on
To open additional pages later in the run, use Navigate or Tab Management
