The Quick Drawer is a right-side fast-run panel for workflows. It appears on authenticated pages such as the dashboard Workflows tab, Docs, and Evals.

The Quick Drawer is a right-side fast-run panel for workflows. It appears on authenticated pages such as the dashboard Workflows tab, Docs, and Evals.

Access

  • Click the fixed Quick / Workflows trigger on the right-middle edge of the screen
  • When the Contextual Showcase is also available, its Page Guide trigger sits above Quick Workflows
  • The drawer opens from the right and shifts the current page left with a subtle rescale
  • On mobile, the Quick Drawer is hidden
  • The drawer is not shown on the workflow editor, login/register, portal, or HITL review pages

Use the filter field at the top of the drawer to search workflows by:

  • Workflow name
  • Workflow description

Search is case-insensitive and updates the list immediately.

Pinned Workflows

Pin workflows to keep them at the top of the drawer.

  • Pinned workflows appear in their own section above the full list
  • New pins are added to the top
  • Pin order is preserved across reloads in browser storage

Running Workflows

Select a workflow to open its input form.

  • Input fields are shown vertically in drawer order
  • Click Run Workflow to execute the selected workflow
  • Click Stop Workflow to cancel a running execution from the drawer
  • Workflows without Input fields can still be run directly
  • A workflow that starts with a File Upload Trigger shows a drop zone instead: drop a file on it or click to pick one. The zone lists the file types and size the trigger accepts and refuses other files before uploading. Run Workflow stays disabled until a file is chosen.

The drawer uses the same workflow execution API as other Heym run surfaces, so outputs and runtime behavior stay consistent.

Stopping a run from the drawer also cancels the active backend execution, including any in-flight Playwright browser job for that workflow run.

Progress and Results

After starting a run, the drawer shows:

  • Streaming step progress for nodes as they start and finish
  • Final status: success, error, or pending
  • Final outputs in a compact JSON panel
  • History entries tagged with Quick Drawer

pending means the workflow is waiting for a later action such as human review.

Quick Drawer runs are production runs, so a workflow with a concurrency limit can make them wait. While the run is in line, the status reads Waiting in queue (2/5); it changes to running when the run starts and shows the result when it ends, without step-by-step progress. A run that expired in the queue, or was cancelled while waiting, ends as error.

A file run goes through the trigger's single-use upload link: the drawer asks the workflow for a link, uploads the file to it, and shows the result when the upload returns. File runs show the final status and outputs but no step-by-step progress, and are also tagged Quick Drawer in history. The chosen file is cleared after each run, because a link takes one file.

Browser Storage

The Quick Drawer stores personal preferences in localStorage:

  • Pinned workflow IDs
  • Last selected workflow

The drawer does not persist input values in this version.

Scope

The Quick Drawer is intentionally a lightweight execution surface.

  • Included: search, pinning, select, input (including a file), run, progress, result
  • Excluded: workflow creation, editing, folder management, and canvas actions
