* feat(workflows): add IDE-style reference viewer for workflows
Adds a "Show references" viewer so you can see how workflows connect:
which workflows call a given workflow ("Used by") and which workflows it
calls ("Uses"), rendered as recursive, clickable trees.
- Opened via Cmd/Ctrl+click on a sidebar workflow row and a "Show
references" context-menu item.
- Resolves references through both the workflow / workflow_input blocks
(reusing isWorkflowBlockType) and published custom blocks
(custom_block_* -> source workflow), scoped to the workspace.
- Builds the whole workspace reference graph once from live workflow_blocks
state; cycle-safe DFS marks A->B->A loops as (cycle) leaves.
- Contract-bound GET /api/workflows/[id]/references with workspace-level
authz; React Query hook gated to fetch only when the modal opens.
- Unit tests for the pure graph/tree logic (cycles, self-refs, dangling
drop, custom-block + workflow_input resolution) and route tests
(401/400/403/200).
* fix(workflows): correct reference resolution for active mode, cycles, cache, and graph size
Addresses review findings on the reference viewer:
- Resolve the workflow-block child via resolveActiveCanonicalValue (the
shared SOT) instead of basic-first `||`, so an advanced-mode block whose
old basic workflowId value lingers resolves to the active manual value.
- Keep self-references (A -> A) and render them as a cycle leaf instead of
dropping the edge, matching the cycle-safe viewer's purpose.
- Set the references query staleTime to 0 so reopening the always-mounted
modal refetches live editor state instead of serving a stale cached graph.
- Bound converging paths: a node already expanded elsewhere in the tree is
emitted once more as a plain leaf (edge stays visible) rather than
re-expanded, so a densely reconverging graph can't grow exponentially.
* improvement(workflows): align reference viewer auth, coverage, and UI with platform conventions
- authorize via authorizeWorkflowByWorkspacePermission and derive the
workspace server-side (404/403 semantics; drops the client-supplied
workspaceId query param from the contract, hook, and modal)
- add workflow-tool call edges: workflow_input tools inside tool-input
sub-blocks now appear in both trees; non-call selector shapes stay
deliberately excluded (documented against remap-internal-ids)
- restore native cmd/ctrl+click open-in-new-tab on sidebar workflow rows;
references stay reachable from the context menu
- mount ReferencesModal on demand per row, deleting the prevIsOpen reset,
the enabled knob, and the staleTime-0 workaround (now 30s)
- align the tree with design tokens (--text-icon, --surface-hover, px-4
text gutter) and drop the hardcoded brand hex
- escape LIKE wildcards in the custom_block_ prefix match; import
MAX_CALL_CHAIN_DEPTH instead of mirroring it; remove dead fallbacks,
the duplicate not-found scan, and the redundant custom-block row map
* improvement(workflows): final polish on the reference viewer
- drop the vestigial isOpen prop (conditional mount owns visibility)
- unify on the emcn Workflow icon in tree rows
- inline the static className and derive nodes without an annotation
- remove one restating test comment
* fix(workflows): resolve tool references by active canonical mode and keep the reference cache live
- workflow_input tools inside tool-input now resolve basic/advanced via the
index-scoped canonicalModes override, mirroring execution (Cursor finding)
- staleTime back to 0: no mutation invalidates this key, so a reopen must
background-refetch; on-demand mounting keeps the cached tree painting
instantly (Greptile P1)
- modal header uses the em-dash label-entity convention; tree items carry
aria-level instead of a static aria-selected
* fix(workflows): cover legacy workflow-typed tools and retry depth-truncated expansions
- toolInputCallees matches both workflow tool type spellings via
isWorkflowBlockType and passes the tool's own type as the legacy
canonicalModes fallback, matching providers/utils resolution
- a depth-capped expansion no longer poisons the expanded set, so a
shallower path re-expands the node in full (Cursor finding)
- the allowed-but-workspaceless auth branch now returns 403, not the
authz result's 200
- tests: legacy tool type + per-tool index-scope isolation, diamond
re-expansion with a real subtree, depth ceiling, shallow-path retry

Integration documentation generator
generate-docs.ts compiles the per-service integration pages under
apps/docs/content/docs/en/integrations/ from the block/tool/trigger registry in
apps/sim. The ontology it encodes: everything is a block, and an integration is one
block that has Actions and, optionally, a Trigger.
Golden rule: the generated
.mdxfiles are derived artifacts, not the source of truth. Do not hand-edit them — your changes are overwritten on the next run. The only editable region is theMANUAL-CONTENTblock (see below). To change what a page says, edit the TypeScript inapps/simand regenerate.
Where an integration lives canonically
For a service like Gmail, three TS sources define it:
| Source | What it is | What it feeds in the page |
|---|---|---|
apps/sim/blocks/blocks/<service>.ts |
The block: type, name, category (tools for integrations), bgColor, config sub-blocks, tools.access (which actions it exposes), an optional triggers capability, outputs |
Header / BlockInfoCard, Usage Instructions, and which actions + trigger appear |
apps/sim/tools/<service>/*.ts |
Each action's params + outputs | Every ### <action> → #### Input / #### Output under ## Actions |
apps/sim/triggers/<provider>/ |
The trigger's config fields + outputs | The ## Triggers section |
apps/sim/components/icons.tsx |
The brand glyph | The page icon |
The block references actions by id in tools.access; the generator looks each one up in
apps/sim/tools/.
What the generator does
Run with cd apps/sim && bun run generate-docs (or bun run scripts/generate-docs.ts
from the repo root). One pass (generateAllBlockDocs):
- Copies icons
apps/sim/components/icons.tsx→apps/docs/components/icons.tsxand buildsapps/docs/components/ui/icon-mapping.ts. - Block pass — for each integration block (
category: 'tools', plus thememory/knowledge/tableexceptions), writesintegrations/<service>.mdx:BlockInfoCard+ Usage Instructions +## Actions. - Trigger pass (
generateAllTriggerDocs) — readsapps/sim/triggers/<provider>/and appends a## Triggerssection to that service's page, or writes a standalone page for trigger-only services. - Writes
integrations/meta.jsonand regenerates the landing page'sintegrations.json.
Hand-written pages it never touches
Core block pages (blocks/*), the native trigger pages (triggers/{start,schedule,webhook,rss,table}),
the integrations overview (integrations/index.mdx), and the service-account pages are
fully hand-written. The generator skips them via HANDWRITTEN_INTEGRATION_DOCS,
HANDWRITTEN_TRIGGER_DOCS, and SKIP_TRIGGER_PROVIDERS. Add a page name to those sets if
you hand-author a page the generator would otherwise produce.
Manual content (the one editable region)
Each generated page may carry hand-written prose inside marker comments. The generator preserves anything between the markers and overwrites everything else, so this survives every regeneration:
{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[AgentMail](https://agentmail.to/) is an API-first email platform…
{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-END */}
Supported section names: intro (after the BlockInfoCard — the most common),
usage, configuration, outputs, notes. The merge is by marker name
(extractManualContent + mergeWithManualContent), so a section is re-inserted at the
matching spot in the freshly generated structure.
If you move the output folder, reseed manual content from the old location first — the generator only preserves markers it finds in the existing output file, so a fresh folder starts with none.
Practical: to change…
- An action's params/outputs, a trigger, or to add a service → edit
apps/sim/{blocks,tools,triggers}and re-run the generator. - A page's prose intro → edit its
MANUAL-CONTENT:introblock directly; it survives regen. - The overview / service-account / core-block / native-trigger pages → hand-edit freely.
Gotchas
- Never hand-edit
apps/docs/components/icons.tsx— step 1 overwrites it from the sim app. Components that need an icon the sim app lacks should define it locally or uselucide-react(seecomponents/workflow-preview/block-icons.tsx). - The generator is the source of truth for
integrations/and itsmeta.json; manual edits there are transient.
CI
The generator runs in CI on pushes to the main branch and commits the regenerated docs
back. Keep block/tool/trigger metadata accurate in apps/sim and the docs follow.
