Blocks are the building units in Athina Flows. Each block performs a specific task, such as searching for data, processing text, or running code. By connecting these blocks, you can build automated workflows tailored to your needs.
Blocks are sometimes also referred to as “steps” in the codebase.
Blocks are similar to Dynamic Columns in datasets. Both use the same execution functions to perform actions efficiently. You can explore more about how blocks work in our open-source SDK: Athina SDK. Here are the Blocks currently available:
