Run Pipeline

Run a multi-step pipeline on your JSON data directly from the editor.


What pipelines do

A pipeline chains multiple utilities together in sequence:

  • Each step takes the output of the previous step as input
  • Steps can use different utilities with different configurations
  • The final output is the result of the last step

This lets you build complex transformations without running utilities one at a time.

If you want help creating that first draft, start with AI Draft. It can generate a pipeline from plain-language instructions, then hand it off for further review or editing.


How to run a pipeline

1. Open the Command Palette

Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac).


2. Search for a pipeline

Type the pipeline name.

Pipelines appear under the Pipelines section in the results.


3. Review and run

The pipeline modal opens with three panels:

Inputs (left)

  • Shows the input data for the pipeline
  • If the pipeline has multiple input nodes, switch between them with the dropdown

Pipeline (middle)

  • Shows a summary of all steps in order
  • Each step displays its name and the utility it uses

Output (right)

  • Empty until you click RUN
  • Shows the final result after all steps complete
  • Displays total execution time

4. Apply the result

  • Click RUN to execute all steps
  • Review the final output
  • Click APPLY to replace your panel content with the result
  • Or click Cancel to discard

Things to know

  • Steps execute in order — if a step fails, execution stops and the error is shown
  • If the pipeline has no input nodes, a message is displayed
  • If no final output is produced, an error message explains why
  • File size limits apply to the output
