FMX Workflow Builder: OverviewUpdated 19 hours ago

The Workflow Builder is a visual editor for FMX in the Cloud that lets you design and control the full user experience—from the moment a guest starts an interaction until the session ends. You build the flow by dragging steps onto a canvas and connecting them, creating a complete experience without writing code.

Workflows can include photo and video capture, AI effects, selection screens, surveys, email/SMS delivery, printing and more. Every step, branch, and condition is fully configurable.


What Problems the Workflow Builder Solves

Accessible for non-technical teams
Anyone can create and modify experiences through a visual interface instead of relying on development.

Fast changes at events
Quickly duplicate, adjust, and reuse flows for new events, clients, or campaigns.

Consistent experiences across locations
Maintain standardized workflows for all your booths or kiosks, with the flexibility to apply local variations.

Fewer mistakes and safer deployments
Built-in validation highlights missing connections, dead ends, and logical gaps before going live.


Core Concepts

Workflow

A full end-to-end experience.
Example: Capture photo → Apply AI Headshot → Preview → Retake or Continue → Print → Email/SMS → End.

Step

A single action or screen in the experience. Examples include:

  • Capture Photo

  • Record Video

  • Apply AI Effect (Headshot, Cartoon, Oldify, etc.)

  • Selection Screen

  • Disclaimer

  • Print

  • Survey

  • Email/SMS Send

Edge (Connection)

A connection between two steps that defines what happens next.
Examples:

  • Continue

  • Skip conditions

  • Retake paths

  • Error paths

  • “Disagree” or alternative decisions

Trigger

A condition or event that starts a workflow or jumps to another section.
Used to control when the flow begins or when to redirect execution based on logic.


What You Can Build

Photo or video booth flows
Welcome → Disclaimer → Capture → AI → Preview → Print/Share.

AI-powered experiences
Capture → AI Headshot / Cartoon / Oldify → Preview → Retake or choose style.

Surveys and data capture flows
Intro → Info Screen → Survey → Thank You → Optional follow-up via Email/SMS.

Branded and sponsored flows
Custom screens, steps, AI effects, and outputs aligned with client or event branding.


How It Fits Into FMX and the Cloud

The Workflow Builder is where you:

  • Create workflows

  • Configure steps

  • Build logic and branches

  • Validate the flow

Once saved, workflows can run:

  • On FMX booths and kiosks

  • In staffed or unattended modes

  • Across multiple devices under one Cloud account

You can maintain multiple workflows, switch between them, and clone existing ones for faster setup.


Benefits by Role

Event Operators / Technicians

  • Modify flows on site (number of prints, turning steps on/off).

  • Clear visual map of the experience.

Marketing / Campaign Teams

  • Build branded experiences without development.

  • Ensure consistent messaging and data collection.

Admins / Product Owners

  • Standardize best-practice workflows across all locations.
