We recommend that you review the Quick start section first to get an understanding of the process of setting up workflows and the terms involved in developing on Canvas. |
In Canvas, blocks are meant to be modular and single purpose. Although it is possible to run the whole integration in one monolithic mega-block, we instead recommend creating new, separate blocks as needed in keeping with this philosophy.
As you know, workflows are made up of blocks. The process of developing workflows thus consists of adding/removing blocks, modifying them, or creating new blocks.

Building with ready-made blocks
Each supported application on Canvas comes with a library of ready-made block. These blocks can easily be added and reused in any project.
The blocks will often have configurable parameters, shown in the “Working Area” tab.
Modifying blocks
Blocks are written in modern Javascript, and can be inspected, modified, and debugged directly in the browser.
