What Is a Method

Estimated reading time: 2 min

A Method is a task that Wiresk performs after a Flow is triggered.
It tells the system what to do once the Trigger condition is met.

You can have one Method or multiple Methods in a Flow. Each Method connects to a specific app and performs a defined action, such as creating a record, sending an email, updating a file, or retrieving data.

If a Trigger answers the question “When should the Flow start?”,
then a Method answers “What should Wiresk do next?”

For example:

  • If the Trigger is “New contact in HubSpot”,
    the Method might be “Create row in Google Sheets”
  • If the Trigger is “New email with attachment”,
    the Method might be “Upload file to Google Drive”

Wiresk supports hundreds of Methods across many connected apps. Some common examples include:

  • Google Sheets:
    • Insert row
    • Get data by range
    • Update existing row

Red warning icons are shown under both steps, indicating configuration or execution issues. On the right side, the panel for selecting a Method from Google Sheets is open, showing available actions like "Create New Spreadsheet," "Find Spreadsheet," "Copy Worksheet," and "Look Up One Row." The "Run" and "Statistics" buttons are visible at the bottom-left.
  • HubSpot:
    • Create or update contact
    • Add contact to list
    • Get record by ID

Each Method belongs to one app and one type of action.

When you add a Method to your Flow, you configure its behavior. This usually involves:

  1. Selecting the App and Action
    Choose which app the Method should interact with and what task it should perform.
  2. Setting Required Fields
    For example, if the Method is “Create Contact” in HubSpot, you might need to provide:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Email
  3. Field Mapping
    Use the “Input” field or the ⚡ icon (type @ to insert values from previous steps such as Trigger data).
    For instance, if the Trigger provided an email address, you can map it directly to the “Email” field in the Method. Learn more about Field Mapping.
  4. Optional Settings
    Many Methods allow additional options, like adding attachments, setting tags.

On the right panel, a "Create Record" Method is being configured using the "Advanced Connection wirekstest" with the entity set to "Contacts." Required fields for Email, First Name, and Last Name are shown, with input fields and dynamic mapping support. The bottom of the panel includes a “Save” button. The "Run" button is disabled.
  • Methods run in the order you place them in the Flow.
  • If a Method fails (e.g., due to missing data or permission issues), the Flow may stop unless error-handling is configured.
  • You can insert conditional logic and use tools like Simple Condition, Merge, or Parse between Methods to control the behavior of complex Flows.
Wiresk Flow Builder interface for the Flow "Test slack00." The Flow includes a Slack Trigger followed by a “Simple Condition Check” (step 7) branching into two paths. The “Yes” path continues to “Create Message” and “Create Record (Contacts)” using Slack and HubSpot, while the “No” path leads to “Send Text Message” via Telegram. All steps after the condition display red warning icons. On the right, the "Run Flow" panel is active with “Plain JSON String” selected but empty. Below, the Run Result shows a failed run at 10:54:16 on August 1, 2025.

Scenario: When a new form is submitted, create a Notion page and send a confirmation email.

  • Trigger: Google Forms → Retrieve New Submission
  • Method 1: Notion → Create Page (with form responses)
  • Method 2: Gmail → Send Email (to the person who submitted)

Each Method is configured with mapped fields based on the Trigger data.
