Glossary

Quick definitions of common Orqio terms used throughout this documentation.

Organization​

Your company's account in Orqio. The top-level boundary for team members, workspaces, billing, and governance.

Workspace​

An isolated environment inside an organization (e.g., staging, prod). All resources -- blueprints, credentials, API keys, contacts, and execution history -- are scoped to a workspace.

Blueprint​

The design of an automation. A blueprint defines the trigger, nodes, connections, and configuration that make up your workflow. Think of it as a recipe that can be executed many times.

Workflow​

A running instance of a blueprint. Each time a trigger fires or you click Run once, a new workflow is created. Also referred to as a "workflow execution" or "run."

Node​

A single step in a blueprint. Nodes perform specific actions like sending an email, making an HTTP request, or evaluating a condition.

Trigger​

The event that starts a blueprint. Orqio supports REST API triggers (external HTTP requests) and attribute change triggers (react to data changes).

Template​

Reusable message content (HTML or plain text) with variables that get replaced at runtime. Used by delivery nodes to send emails, SMS messages, and notifications.

Delivery​

The act of sending a message (email, SMS, push notification) from a workflow node. Orqio tracks delivery status: sent, delivered, failed, opened, or clicked.

Report​

A detailed record of a workflow execution, showing the status, timing, and input/output of each node. Available in the Executions section.

Run​

A single execution of a blueprint, producing a workflow with its own execution history and results. Synonymous with "workflow execution."

Credential​

A securely stored secret (API key, token, password) that you create once and select in node configuration. Credentials are workspace-scoped and never shown in plaintext after creation.

Expression​

A dynamic value that references data from triggers or upstream nodes. Used to map data between nodes at runtime. Expressions are deterministic -- non-deterministic operations like Date.now() are blocked.
