Core Concepts

Understanding these core concepts will help you get the most out of KeeperHub.

Workflows

Workflows are visual automations that you build by connecting nodes on a canvas. Each workflow represents a complete automation - from trigger to actions.

Key characteristics:

  • Visual, node-based design
  • Automatic or manual execution
  • Conditional branching for complex logic
  • Shareable via the Hub

Nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of workflows. Each node performs a specific function.

Trigger Nodes

Every workflow starts with a trigger that determines when it runs:

  • Scheduled: Run at intervals (every 5 minutes, hourly, daily)
  • Webhook: Run when an external service calls your workflow URL
  • Event: Run when a blockchain event is detected
  • Block: Run at blockchain block intervals on a specific chain
  • Manual: Run only when you click the Run button

Action Nodes

Actions perform the actual work in your workflow:

  • Web3 Actions: Check Balance, Read Contract, Write Contract, Transfer Funds
  • Notification Actions: Send Email, Send Discord Message, Send Slack Message
  • Integration Actions: Send Webhook, custom HTTP requests

Condition Nodes

Conditions evaluate data and create branching paths:

  • Low Balance Condition: Check if balance is below threshold
  • Value Comparison: Compare any value against a target
  • Custom Logic: Combine conditions with AND/OR operators

Connections

Connections store credentials for external services. Set up connections once and reuse them across workflows.

Connection types:

  • Web3: Wallet connections for blockchain operations
  • Email: Email provider configuration
  • Discord: Webhook URLs for Discord channels
  • Slack: Workspace authorization
  • Webhook: Custom HTTP endpoint credentials

Workflow Runs

Each time a workflow executes, it creates a run with detailed logging:

  • Status: Pending, Running, Success, Error, Cancelled
  • Node Outputs: Results from each node in the workflow
  • Timing: Start time, duration, completion time
  • Errors: Detailed error messages if something fails

The Hub

The Hub is a marketplace for workflow templates:

  • Browse: Discover workflows shared by the community
  • Import: Copy workflows to your account
  • Share: Publish your workflows for others to use

AI Assistant

KeeperHub includes an AI assistant to help you build workflows:

  • Describe what you want in plain language
  • The AI suggests nodes and configurations
  • Review and customize the generated workflow

Access the AI via the “Ask AI…” input at the bottom of the canvas.

Para Wallet

Every KeeperHub account includes a Para wallet:

  • Automatic creation: Created when you sign up
  • Secure custody: Multi-party computation (MPC) security
  • Funding: Top up with ETH to enable gas-consuming operations
  • Management: View balance, withdraw funds via Settings > Wallet

Networks

KeeperHub supports multiple blockchain networks:

  • Ethereum Mainnet: Production network for real transactions
  • Sepolia Testnet: Test network for development (free test ETH)
  • Base: Layer 2 network with lower gas fees
  • Arbitrum: Layer 2 network optimized for DeFi

Always test workflows on a testnet before deploying to Mainnet.
