What a Runner run does
A Runner run executes exactly like a full run in the editor — same engine, same nodes, same result. The Runner is just the published front door wrapped around it. On top of running the graph, it also:- Handles auth — gates who can run based on the visibility you chose at publish time.
- Maps inputs — takes the caller’s form values and feeds them to your User Input nodes.
- Applies the creator fee — adds your run price on top of compute, if you set one.
The Runner never changes the workflow’s logic. It only collects inputs and triggers the run — the wiring you built in the editor is exactly what executes.
Also an API
Publishing the workflow exposes it as an API endpoint too. The Runner page is the human front door; the endpoint is the code front door. Your app or a scheduled job can trigger the same run, with the same inputs, and get the same result back.Related
Editor vs Runner
Where you build versus where you rerun — and why they’re separate surfaces.
Running the full workflow
What a full run actually executes — the engine the Runner sits in front of.
