These chapters explain the mechanics that many Jetstack features depend on. They are not optional background reading. They are the platform rules that make the builder features work.
- Expressions
Explains the dynamic expression formats, evaluation pipeline, context stack, and common implementation uses.
- Code Processor Functions
Explains the built-in runtime functions available inside expressions.
- Expression Parsing And Shortcodes
Explains variable parsing, utility shortcodes, table-column translation, and parser-level post-processing.
- Scope Resolvers
Explains how automation and canvas builders discover and resolve available context.
- Automation Triggers
Explains how trigger resources, selectors, events, and trigger parameters work in the Automation Builder.
- Automation Actions
Explains the available action types, their input parameters, endpoints, and provided parameters in the Automation Builder.
- Query Parameters
Explains the runtime state model for filters, columns, sorting, tags, folders, and pagination.
- Filter Operators
Explains the property-family operator sets used by queries and views.
Read this section when:
- a configuration field supports expressions
- a query filter behaves differently depending on property type
- a canvas or automation builder offers scope-driven value selection
- a view keeps state such as visible columns, tags, or folders
- a permission rule depends on query semantics
- Expressions
- Code processor functions
