v1 Runtime v1

The v1 Runtime enables creation of integrations as Workflows. Workflows consist of steps called Nodes and are joined by Flow Connectors. Nodes expose Properties through their selected Method, and the Variable Bar provides Workflow, Node, and execution values while you design and run the Workflow.

Execution and placement

A v1 Runtime Workflow can execute in Flowgear's cloud runtime. Nodes that require access to a private system can execute through a DropPoint installed in that network.

Placement is configured for the relevant Connection or Node. This differs from the Workflow-wide Cluster placement used by v2 Runtime.

Workflow interfaces

A Workflow can be started from the designer or exposed through the v1 Runtime features supported by its Start Node and settings. These include Run Now, schedules, listeners, HTTP endpoints, MCP tools, and Sub-Workflow invocation.

Use the v1 Runtime articles for the exact setup:

• Workflow
• Workflow Canvas
• Flow Connector
• Different Ways to Run a Workflow
• Create a Connection

Choosing a runtime

v1 Runtime support is indefinitely retained but greenfield work should always use v2 Runtime.

Consider porting v1 Runtime Workflows to v2 Runtime when you are planning large changes. The AI assistant is able to assist in porting v1 Runtime Workflows to v2 Runtime.

Additionally, you can call v1 Workflows from v2 Runtime Workflows using the Sub-Workflow Node. This is a good way to progressively port large solutions to v2 Runtime.
