Templates
Start from pre-built project and workflow templates, or share your own via import links.
Templates let you start from a working automation instead of a blank canvas.
Browse the gallery
- Project templates — open Projects → Templates to browse the gallery of pre-built projects. Selecting one imports it into your workspace as a regular project you can edit, publish, and deploy.
- Workflow templates — inside a project, browse workflow templates and import one as a new workflow.
Each gallery has a search box and a category filter to narrow the cards; every card shows the components the template uses as icons. On a template's import page, the connected-components list tells you which apps you'll need to connect before the imported automation can run.
Templates are fetched from ByteChef's template catalog through the GitHub proxy — self-hosted instances behind a firewall can point at a mirror via GITHUB_PROXY_BASE_URL.
Share and import
A project or workflow can be shared as an import link. Anyone with the link (and access to a ByteChef instance) opens it and gets a guided import:
/import/shared/...— import something another user shared from their workspace./import/template/...— import a catalog template directly.
The import creates a copy in the target workspace — connections and credentials are never carried across; the importer connects their own accounts.

Agentic Patterns
Build the common agentic patterns — chaining, routing, parallelization, orchestrator-workers, and evaluator-optimizer — visually in ByteChef using flow controls and AI Agents.
Build Approaches
Choose how you build automations in ByteChef — no-code on the visual canvas, low-code with a Script step, or full-code as a Code Workflow — all running on the same engine.
