FlowDrop: Visual AI-Powered Workflow Builder for Drupal Enters Experimental Phase

Staff Reporter

Developer Shibin Das has released FlowDrop, an experimental visual workflow module for Drupal that combines drag-and-drop interfaces with AI integration and asynchronous automation. Still in early development, FlowDrop aims to simplify how site builders model, document, and execute complex workflows inside Drupal.

In a pair of recent LinkedIn updates, Shibin introduced FlowDrop as both a workflow visualization tool and a potential conversational interface engine. By leveraging the Modeler API—instead of the more commonly used BPMN.io—FlowDrop allows for a fully custom interface tailored to Drupal’s automation needs.

The tool offers a Svelte-based visual editor supporting directed acyclic graph (DAG) logic, job queuing, and AI interactions via LLM calls and external API integrations. It draws inspiration from visual orchestrators like LangFlow and n8n, but is built natively in Drupal for closer CMS integration and configurability.

FlowDrop was conceived as a way to solve a problem familiar to many Drupal developers: workflow logic scattered across modules, hooks, and admin forms, making it difficult to explain or iterate upon. “If I couldn't see the workflow, I couldn't explain it well enough to myself or others,” Shibin wrote. The visual layer addresses this gap by exposing logic in a collaborative, explorable way.

Visual Workflow Editor — Svelte-based UI for building workflows visually
Node-Based Engine — Supports queued, asynchronous execution of DAGs
AI and API Integration — Built-in support for LLMs, embeddings, and external services
Custom UI via Modeler API — Bypasses BPMN.io for more tailored user interactions
In-Workflow Documentation — Allows team members to document logic within the editor
Mode Switching — UI modes for basic or power-user configurations

"This project started as an experiment, but it really reflects how workflows in Drupal could be made visual, auditable, and easier to iterate on," Shibin shared.

FlowDrop remains experimental and is not yet recommended for production use. Those interested in testing, contributing, or following progress can visit the module page on Drupal.org: FlowDrop on Drupal.org.
