Workflow
A visual automation pipeline in GenMB that connects triggers to actions using a node-based editor. Workflows support 16+ node types including AI processing, HTTP requests, conditional logic, loops, email, Slack, database queries, and code execution. Workflows can be triggered manually, on a schedule (cron), or via webhook. Validated as a DAG (directed acyclic graph) to prevent circular dependencies. Available on Business plan.

Backend Agent
A scheduled server-side AI agent in GenMB that runs Python scripts on a cron schedule via a shared GKE worker pool. Backend Agents can call APIs, process data, send emails, and trigger actions automatically. GenMB generates the agent code from a natural language description, deploys it, and manages execution logs. Available on Business plan, max 3 per user.
Webhook
An HTTP callback that automatically sends data to a specified URL when an event occurs. Unlike APIs where you poll for updates, webhooks push data to you in real time. For example, Stripe sends a webhook when a payment succeeds. GenMB's workflow system can trigger actions on webhook events.
API (Application Programming Interface)
A set of rules and protocols that allow different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs define endpoints, request formats, and response structures. GenMB generates REST API endpoints as part of full-stack applications and connects to third-party APIs through its plugin system (Stripe, Supabase, Twilio, etc.).
