Understanding Data Flow

Key analogy for understanding Make workflows:

• Workflow = High-speed rail line
• Module = Station
• Data = Passengers

Data flow through workflows:

1. Depart from starting station (trigger)
2. Pass through various stations (modules) for processing
3. Data gets integrated and processed
4. Arrive at destination (output)

---

Pitfalls to Avoid

Common issues during transformation:

1. Network Connection Dependency - Workflows need real-time internet during runtime; interruptions may cause content loss

2. First Image Time Consumption - Initial AI model loading takes ~5 minutes, affecting immediacy needs

3. Technical Barriers - HTML/CSS template modification is challenging for users without coding background

4. Parameter Remapping - After copying workflows, module parameters need manual remapping

5. Complex Workflow Debugging - 44-module workflows appear overwhelming to beginners
