# Playbook components

> The building blocks you use to assemble playbook workflows

Playbooks are built from components — modular pieces that you connect into a workflow. Each component type handles a different part of the automation.

## Data components

| Component  | Description                                                                  |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Query**  | Run a query against a data source using your ontology metrics and dimensions |
| **Search** | Search a knowledge base for relevant documents or passages                   |
| **Lookup** | Find a specific entity across your data sources                              |

## Logic components

| Component     | Description                                                                     |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Condition** | Branch the workflow based on a true/false check (e.g. "if revenue > threshold") |
| **Loop**      | Repeat a set of steps for each item in a list (e.g. for each overdue invoice)   |
| **Filter**    | Narrow down a dataset before passing it to the next step                        |
| **Transform** | Reshape or format data between steps                                            |

## Action components

| Component         | Description                                         |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Send email**    | Deliver formatted content to one or more recipients |
| **Post to Slack** | Send a message to a Slack channel or user           |
| **Webhook**       | Call an external URL with a payload                 |
| **Update record** | Write back to a connected data source               |
| **Run skill**     | Execute an agent skill as part of the workflow      |

## How components connect

Components are arranged in sequence. Each component receives the output of the previous step and passes its own output forward. Branching components (like Condition) create parallel paths that can merge back together downstream.

```
Trigger
  → Query (get overdue invoices)
    → Loop (for each invoice)
      → Condition (is amount > $10,000?)
        → Yes: Send email to account manager
        → No: Post to Slack channel
    → Transform (summarize results)
      → Send email (weekly summary to leadership)
```
