Use the Prompt

Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an interactive frontend prototype using the existing project stack and explicitly labeled demo data for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Automation Workflow Builder.

Required content and structure

Connect a trigger, conditions and actions with configuration and test results.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: light neutral canvas, graphite text, cobalt accent and precise hairline separators; dense but legible hierarchy. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Describe the trigger, supported conditions, actions and configuration fields. Supply examples of incomplete nodes, test output and live execution results.

Layout and behavior

Make the workflow's direction and dependencies explicit. Keep configuration near the selected node and distinguish testing the flow from activating it for real events.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Show incomplete nodes and distinguish test runs from live execution.
  • Try an unconfigured action, a failed test and a changed trigger.
  • Validation should point to the responsible node, and test success must not silently activate live execution.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Automation Workflow Builder. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Connect a trigger, conditions and actions with configuration and test results. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Make the workflow's direction and dependencies explicit. Keep configuration near the selected node and distinguish testing the flow from activating it for real events.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Connect a trigger, conditions and actions with configuration and test results. Show incomplete nodes and distinguish test runs from live execution. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write an Automation Workflow Builder Design Prompt

Use this automation workflow builder design prompt to connect a trigger, conditions and actions with configuration and test results.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Distinguish Configuration from Execution

An automation workflow builder should reveal whether its trigger, conditions and actions are complete.

AI-generated visual concept for automation workflow builder
Automation Workflow Builder — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

A successful test is different from enabling a live automation. Make the workflow's direction and dependencies explicit. Keep configuration near the selected node and distinguish testing the flow from activating it for real events.

From the Prompt

Make the workflow's direction and dependencies explicit.

Make It Your Own

Connect [TRIGGER], [CONDITIONS] and [ACTIONS], showing missing configuration on each node. Present test inputs and results separately from the control that enables live execution.

Prepare the Automation Workflow Builder Content

The right panel separates trigger configuration from the recent run log. Prepare field choices and per-step result data, rather than making the log a decorative success message.

Workflow configuration and recent run in the Automation Workflow Builder reference
Workflow configuration and recent run.

Describe the trigger, supported conditions, actions and configuration fields. Supply examples of incomplete nodes, test output and live execution results.

From the Prompt

Connect a trigger, conditions and actions with configuration and test results.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this automation workflow builder. Describe the trigger, supported conditions, actions and configuration fields. Supply examples of incomplete nodes, test output and live execution results. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Test an Incomplete Workflow

The central flow splits Yes and No beneath a condition, with an unfinished action on one branch. Test branch routing and validation before allowing activation.

Condition branches and unfinished action in the Automation Workflow Builder reference
Condition branches and unfinished action.

A missing required field should identify the affected node and block the appropriate action. Test success must not automatically imply that the workflow is live. Try an unconfigured action, a failed test and a changed trigger. Validation should point to the responsible node, and test success must not silently activate live execution.

From the Prompt

Show incomplete nodes and distinguish test runs from live execution.

Make It Your Own

Review the automation workflow builder against this requirement: Show incomplete nodes and distinguish test runs from live execution. Try an unconfigured action, a failed test and a changed trigger. Validation should point to the responsible node, and test success must not silently activate live execution. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Automation Workflow Builder Result

A convincing screen is not a working backend. Test validation, permissions, persistence and failure behavior separately before connecting real data.

  • Try an unconfigured action, a failed test and a changed trigger. Validation should point to the responsible node, and test success must not silently activate live execution.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current automation workflow builder. Try an unconfigured action, a failed test and a changed trigger. Validation should point to the responsible node, and test success must not silently activate live execution. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
