Overview
In this quickstart, you’ll create a simple workflow that:- Takes a URL as input
- Scrapes the webpage content
- Uses AI to generate a summary
Prerequisites: You need a Draft & Goal account.
Step 1: Create a new workflow
1
Open the Studio
Go to studio.dng.ai and log in to your account.
2
Create a workflow
Click New Workflow in the top-right corner. Give it a name like “My First Workflow”.
3
Open the canvas
You’ll see an empty canvas — this is where you’ll build your automation.
Step 2: Add an input node
Every workflow needs a starting point. We’ll add a Text Input node to accept a URL.1
Open the node library
Click the Add Node button in the left sidebar to open the node library.
2
Find the URL node
Search for “Url” or browse to Inputs → Url.
3
Add it to the canvas
Click on the node to add it to your canvas. This node will accept a URL when you run the workflow.
Step 3: Add a Web Scraper node
Now we’ll add a node to fetch the content from the URL.1
Add the Web Scraper
Click Add Node again and search for “Web Scraper”. Add it to the canvas.
2
Connect the nodes
Drag a connection from the output of the Text Input node to the URL input of the Web Scraper node.
3
Configure the scraper
Click on the Web Scraper node. In the URL field, you’ll see it’s connected to the previous node’s output (shown as
{{Text_0.value}}).
Step 4: Add an LLM node
Let’s use AI to summarize the scraped content.1
Add the LLM node
Click Add Node and search for “LLM”. Add it to the canvas.
2
Connect it
Connect the Web Scraper’s output to the LLM node.
3
Write your prompt
In the LLM node settings, set the Instructions to:
4
Choose a model
Select a model like Gemini or Claude from the Model dropdown.
Step 5: Run your workflow
Your workflow is ready! Let’s test it.1
Click the App button
Click the App button in the top-right corner of the canvas.
2
Enter a URL
In the input form, enter a URL to scrape, like
https://example.com.3
Run the workflow
Click Generate and watch your workflow execute. You’ll see real-time progress for each node.

View the results
Once complete, you’ll see the AI-generated summary in the output panel.
Congratulations! You’ve built your first Draft & Goal workflow. 🎉
