Hi Simplero team đź‘‹
I’d love to request a truly visual automation builder, based on a flowchart / map / canvas, not just a list of steps.
What I’m imagining is something very similar to tools like Make, ActiveCampaign or visual workflow builders, where you can see the whole logic as a diagram with nodes and branches.
Example of what I mean
Let’s say:
  • A contact enters the automation
  • Then the system checks:
IF the contact has tag “A” → send Email A
IF the contact has tag “B” → send Email B
IF the contact has tag “C” → send Email C
  • And then each path continues with its own logic
Instead of reading this as a long list of rules, you would see it like a map:
  • One entry point
  • A decision block
  • Several branches
  • Each branch with its own actions
What I’m imagining visually
A canvas / board where:
  • Each step is a block (node)
  • Blocks are connected with lines
  • Conditions create real visible branches
You can:
  • Drag & drop blocks
  • Move things around
  • Zoom in / out
  • See the full automation at a glance
Why this is important
Right now, when automations get big:
  • They become hard to understand
  • Hard to debug
  • Easy to break something without realizing
  • Almost impossible to see the global logic
With a visual map:
You instantly see:
  • Where people enter
  • Where they split into different paths
  • What happens to each segment
  • You can reason about automations like you reason about a system, not like a checklist.
In these cases, automations are basically the nervous system of the business, and having a visual nervous system map would be a huge upgrade in clarity, safety and scalability.
I’m attaching an image example of the kind of visual flow I mean, because that’s exactly the experience I’m dreaming of inside Simplero.
