Snap Studio

Audience: Everyone · Tags: studio, ai, flow, beginner

Snap Studio is the guided way to build a SnapLink automation. Open it from the sidebar, or go straight to /snap in the app. Instead of a blank canvas, Studio walks you through three short stages — describe what you want in plain words, review the plan it drafts, then save it and watch it run for real — and it's fully usable with just a keyboard or a screen reader (see Accessibility).

If you used SnapLink before and remember a page called "Snap Pad," that page has been replaced by Snap Studio. Studio does everything Snap Pad did (see Quick Send) and adds the guided plan-and-save flow around it.

The three stages

Studio is one continuous conversation split into three stages. You move forward one stage at a time, and you can always go back.

  1. Describe it — Type what you want to happen into a single text box, in your own words. No technical terms required. Three example prompts are one click away if you'd rather start from a sample.
  2. Review & edit — SnapLink turns your description into a plan: one "WHEN" card (the trigger) and one or more "THEN" cards (the actions). You read it, fill in any blanks, and click Check my flow until it comes back clean.
  3. Save & test — SnapLink saves your flow and runs it once for real, narrating each step as it happens. If it worked, your flow is live in Flows. If it didn't, you go back to Stage 2 with everything intact and fix it.

There's also Quick Send — a collapsible option on the Describe stage for firing off a single message right now, with no flow saved at all.

The AI doctrine

Studio's drafting assistant writes the plan for you in Stage 1, but it never acts on its own:

SnapLink's assistant drafts flows for you. It never turns anything on, never runs anything, and never sees your credentials. You review and approve every flow before it exists.

Everything the assistant proposes stays a draft on your screen until you personally click Save & test it in Stage 3.
