Windmill Script Writing Guide

General Principles

• Scripts must export a main function (do not call it)
• Libraries are installed automatically - do not show installation instructions
• Credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters
• The windmill client (wmill) provides APIs for interacting with the platform

Function Naming

• Main function: main (or preprocessor for preprocessor scripts)
• Must be async for TypeScript variants

Return Values

• Scripts can return any JSON-serializable value
• Return values become available to subsequent flow steps via results.step_id

Preprocessor Scripts

Preprocessor scripts process raw trigger data from various sources (webhook, custom HTTP route, SQS, WebSocket, Kafka, NATS, MQTT, Postgres, or email) before passing it to the flow. This separates the trigger logic from the flow logic and keeps the auto-generated UI clean.

The returned object determines the parameter values passed to the flow. e.g., { b: 1, a: 2 } calls the flow with a = 2 and b = 1, assuming the flow has two inputs called a and b.

The preprocessor receives a single parameter called event.

Bash

Structure

Do not include #!/bin/bash. Arguments are obtained as positional parameters:

# Get arguments
var1="$1"
var2="$2"

echo "Processing $var1 and $var2"

# Return JSON by echoing to stdout
echo "{\"result\": \"$var1\", \"count\": $var2}"

Important:

• Do not include shebang (#!/bin/bash)
• Arguments are always strings
• Access with $1, $2, etc.

Output

The script output is captured as the result. For structured data, output valid JSON:

name="$1"
count="$2"

# Output JSON result
cat << EOF
{
  "name": "$name",
  "count": $count,
  "timestamp": "$(date -Iseconds)"
}
EOF

Environment Variables

Environment variables set in Windmill are available:

# Access environment variable
echo "Workspace: $WM_WORKSPACE"
echo "Job ID: $WM_JOB_ID"

BigQuery

Arguments use @name syntax.

Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:

-- @name1 (string)
-- @name2 (int64) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = @name1 AND age > @name2;

TypeScript (Bun)

Bun runtime with full npm ecosystem and fastest execution.

Structure

Export a single async function called main:

export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
  // Your code here
  return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}

Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.

Resource Types

On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.

Use the RT namespace for resource types:

export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
  // stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}

Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.

Before using a resource type, check the rt.d.ts file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by wmill resource-type generate-namespace.

Imports

import Stripe from "stripe";
import { someFunction } from "some-package";

Windmill Client

Import the windmill client for platform interactions:

import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

See the SDK documentation for available methods.

Preprocessor Scripts

For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named preprocessor and receives an event parameter:

type Event = {
  kind:
    | "webhook"
    | "http"
    | "websocket"
    | "kafka"
    | "email"
    | "nats"
    | "postgres"
    | "sqs"
    | "mqtt"
    | "gcp";
  body: any;
  headers: Record<string, string>;
  query: Record<string, string>;
};

export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
  return {
    param1: event.body.field1,
    param2: event.query.id,
  };
}

S3 Object Operations

Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations.

S3Object Type

The S3Object type represents a file in S3 storage:

type S3Object = {
  s3: string; // Path within the bucket
};

TypeScript Operations

import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);

// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);

// Write file to S3
const result: S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
  s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
  fileContent, // string or Blob
  s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);

TypeScript (Bun Native)

Native TypeScript execution with fetch only - no external imports allowed.

Structure

Export a single async function called main:

export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
  // Your code here
  return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}

Do not call the main function.

Resource Types

On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.

Use the RT namespace for resource types:

export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
  // stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}

Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.

Before using a resource type, check the rt.d.ts file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by wmill resource-type generate-namespace.

Imports

No imports allowed. Use the globally available fetch function:

export async function main(url: string) {
  const response = await fetch(url);
  return await response.json();
}

Windmill Client

The windmill client is not available in native TypeScript mode. Use fetch to call APIs directly.

Preprocessor Scripts

For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named preprocessor and receives an event parameter:

type Event = {
  kind:
    | "webhook"
    | "http"
    | "websocket"
    | "kafka"
    | "email"
    | "nats"
    | "postgres"
    | "sqs"
    | "mqtt"
    | "gcp";
  body: any;
  headers: Record<string, string>;
  query: Record<string, string>;
};

export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
  return {
    param1: event.body.field1,
    param2: event.query.id,
  };
}

S3 Object Operations

Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations.

S3Object Type

The S3Object type represents a file in S3 storage:

type S3Object = {
  s3: string; // Path within the bucket
};

TypeScript Operations

import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);

// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);

// Write file to S3
const result: S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
  s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
  fileContent, // string or Blob
  s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);

C#

The script must contain a public static Main method inside a class:

public class Script
{
    public static object Main(string name, int count)
    {
        return new { Name = name, Count = count };
    }
}

Important:

• Class name is irrelevant
• Method must be public static
• Return type can be object or specific type

NuGet Packages

Add packages using the #r directive at the top:

#r "nuget: Newtonsoft.Json, 13.0.3"
#r "nuget: RestSharp, 110.2.0"

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using RestSharp;

public class Script
{
    public static object Main(string url)
    {
        var client = new RestClient(url);
        var request = new RestRequest();
        var response = client.Get(request);
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content);
    }
}

TypeScript (Deno)

Deno runtime with npm support via npm: prefix and native Deno libraries.

Structure

Export a single async function called main:

export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
  // Your code here
  return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}

Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.

Resource Types

On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.

Use the RT namespace for resource types:

export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
  // stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}

Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.

Before using a resource type, check the rt.d.ts file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by wmill resource-type generate-namespace.

Imports

// npm packages use npm: prefix
import Stripe from "npm:stripe";
import { someFunction } from "npm:some-package";

// Deno standard library
import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts";

Windmill Client

Import the windmill client for platform interactions:

import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

See the SDK documentation for available methods.

Preprocessor Scripts

For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named preprocessor and receives an event parameter:

type Event = {
  kind:
    | "webhook"
    | "http"
    | "websocket"
    | "kafka"
    | "email"
    | "nats"
    | "postgres"
    | "sqs"
    | "mqtt"
    | "gcp";
  body: any;
  headers: Record<string, string>;
  query: Record<string, string>;
};

export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
  return {
    param1: event.body.field1,
    param2: event.query.id,
  };
}

S3 Object Operations

Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations.

S3Object Type

The S3Object type represents a file in S3 storage:

type S3Object = {
  s3: string; // Path within the bucket
};

TypeScript Operations

import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);

// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);

// Write file to S3
const result: S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
  s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
  fileContent, // string or Blob
  s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);

DuckDB

Arguments are defined with comments and used with $name syntax:

-- $name (text) = default
-- $age (integer)
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = $name AND age > $age;

Ducklake Integration

Attach Ducklake for data lake operations:

-- Main ducklake
ATTACH 'ducklake' AS dl;

-- Named ducklake
ATTACH 'ducklake://my_lake' AS dl;

-- Then query
SELECT * FROM dl.schema.table;

External Database Connections

Connect to external databases using resources:

ATTACH '$res:path/to/resource' AS db (TYPE postgres);
SELECT * FROM db.schema.table;

S3 File Operations

Read files from S3 storage:

-- Default storage
SELECT * FROM read_csv('s3:///path/to/file.csv');

-- Named storage
SELECT * FROM read_csv('s3://storage_name/path/to/file.csv');

-- Parquet files
SELECT * FROM read_parquet('s3:///path/to/file.parquet');

-- JSON files
SELECT * FROM read_json('s3:///path/to/file.json');

Go

Structure

The file package must be inner and export a function called main:

package inner

func main(param1 string, param2 int) (map[string]interface{}, error) {
    return map[string]interface{}{
        "result": param1,
        "count":  param2,
    }, nil
}

Important:

• Package must be inner
• Return type must be ({return_type}, error)
• Function name is main (lowercase)

Return Types

The return type can be any Go type that can be serialized to JSON:

package inner

type Result struct {
    Name  string `json:"name"`
    Count int    `json:"count"`
}

func main(name string, count int) (Result, error) {
    return Result{
        Name:  name,
        Count: count,
    }, nil
}

Error Handling

Return errors as the second return value:

package inner

import "errors"

func main(value int) (string, error) {
    if value < 0 {
        return "", errors.New("value must be positive")
    }
    return "success", nil
}

GraphQL

Structure

Write GraphQL queries or mutations. Arguments can be added as query parameters:

query GetUser($id: ID!) {
  user(id: $id) {
    id
    name
    email
  }
}

Variables

Variables are passed as script arguments and automatically bound to the query:

query SearchProducts($query: String!, $limit: Int = 10) {
  products(search: $query, first: $limit) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        name
        price
      }
    }
  }
}

Mutations

mutation CreateUser($input: CreateUserInput!) {
  createUser(input: $input) {
    id
    name
    createdAt
  }
}

Java

The script must contain a Main public class with a public static main() method:

public class Main {
    public static Object main(String name, int count) {
        java.util.Map<String, Object> result = new java.util.HashMap<>();
        result.put("name", name);
        result.put("count", count);
        return result;
    }
}

Important:

• Class must be named Main
• Method must be public static Object main(...)
• Return type is Object or void

Maven Dependencies

Add dependencies using comments at the top:

//requirements:
//com.google.code.gson:gson:2.10.1
//org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.14

import com.google.gson.Gson;

public class Main {
    public static Object main(String input) {
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        return gson.fromJson(input, Object.class);
    }
}

Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL)

Arguments use @P1, @P2, etc.

Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:

-- @P1 name1 (varchar)
-- @P2 name2 (int) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = @P1 AND age > @P2;

MySQL

Arguments use ? placeholders.

Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:

-- ? name1 (text)
-- ? name2 (int) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ? AND age > ?;

TypeScript (Native)

Native TypeScript execution with fetch only - no external imports allowed.

Structure

Export a single async function called main:

export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
  // Your code here
  return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}

Do not call the main function.

Resource Types

On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.

Use the RT namespace for resource types:

export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
  // stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}

Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.

Before using a resource type, check the rt.d.ts file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by wmill resource-type generate-namespace.

Imports

No imports allowed. Use the globally available fetch function:

export async function main(url: string) {
  const response = await fetch(url);
  return await response.json();
}

Windmill Client

The windmill client is not available in native TypeScript mode. Use fetch to call APIs directly.

Preprocessor Scripts

For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named preprocessor and receives an event parameter:

type Event = {
  kind:
    | "webhook"
    | "http"
    | "websocket"
    | "kafka"
    | "email"
    | "nats"
    | "postgres"
    | "sqs"
    | "mqtt"
    | "gcp";
  body: any;
  headers: Record<string, string>;
  query: Record<string, string>;
};

export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
  return {
    param1: event.body.field1,
    param2: event.query.id
  };
}

PHP

Structure

The script must start with <?php and contain at least one function called main:

<?php

function main(string $param1, int $param2) {
    return ["result" => $param1, "count" => $param2];
}

Resource Types

On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.

You need to redefine the type of the resources that are needed before the main function. Always check if the class already exists using class_exists:

<?php

if (!class_exists('Postgresql')) {
    class Postgresql {
        public string $host;
        public int $port;
        public string $user;
        public string $password;
        public string $dbname;
    }
}

function main(Postgresql $db) {
    // $db contains the database connection details
}

The resource type name has to be exactly as specified.

Library Dependencies

Specify library dependencies as comments before the main function:

<?php

// require:
// guzzlehttp/guzzle
// stripe/stripe-php@^10.0

function main() {
    // Libraries are available
}

One dependency per line. No need to require autoload, it is already done.

PostgreSQL

Arguments are obtained directly in the statement with $1::{type}, $2::{type}, etc.

Name the parameters by adding comments at the beginning of the script (without specifying the type):

-- $1 name1
-- $2 name2 = default_value
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = $1::TEXT AND age > $2::INT;

PowerShell

Structure

Arguments are obtained by calling the param function on the first line:

param($Name, $Count = 0, [int]$Age)

# Your code here
Write-Output "Processing $Name, count: $Count, age: $Age"

# Return object
@{
    name = $Name
    count = $Count
    age = $Age
}

Parameter Types

You can specify types for parameters:

param(
    [string]$Name,
    [int]$Count = 0,
    [bool]$Enabled = $true,
    [array]$Items
)

@{
    name = $Name
    count = $Count
    enabled = $Enabled
    items = $Items
}

Return Values

Return values by outputting them at the end of the script:

param($Input)

$result = @{
    processed = $true
    data = $Input
    timestamp = Get-Date -Format "o"
}

$result

Python

Structure

The script must contain at least one function called main:

def main(param1: str, param2: int):
    # Your code here
    return {"result": param1, "count": param2}

Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.

Resource Types

On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.

You need to redefine the type of the resources that are needed before the main function as TypedDict:

from typing import TypedDict

class postgresql(TypedDict):
    host: str
    port: int
    user: str
    password: str
    dbname: str

def main(db: postgresql):
    # db contains the database connection details
    pass

Important rules:

• The resource type name must be IN LOWERCASE
• Only include resource types if they are actually needed
• If an import conflicts with a resource type name, rename the imported object, not the type name
• Make sure to import TypedDict from typing if you're using it

Imports

Libraries are installed automatically. Do not show installation instructions.

import requests
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime

If an import name conflicts with a resource type:

# Wrong - don't rename the type
import stripe as stripe_lib
class stripe_type(TypedDict): ...

# Correct - rename the import
import stripe as stripe_sdk
class stripe(TypedDict):
    api_key: str

Windmill Client

Import the windmill client for platform interactions:

import wmill

See the SDK documentation for available methods.

Preprocessor Scripts

For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named preprocessor and receives an event parameter:

from typing import TypedDict, Literal, Any

class Event(TypedDict):
    kind: Literal["webhook", "http", "websocket", "kafka", "email", "nats", "postgres", "sqs", "mqtt", "gcp"]
    body: Any
    headers: dict[str, str]
    query: dict[str, str]

def preprocessor(event: Event):
    # Transform the event into flow input parameters
    return {
        "param1": event["body"]["field1"],
        "param2": event["query"]["id"]
    }

S3 Object Operations

Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations.

import wmill

# Load file content from S3
content: bytes = wmill.load_s3_file(s3object)

# Load file as stream reader
reader: BufferedReader = wmill.load_s3_file_reader(s3object)

# Write file to S3
result: S3Object = wmill.write_s3_file(
    s3object,           # Target path (or None to auto-generate)
    file_content,       # bytes or BufferedReader
    s3_resource_path,   # Optional: specific S3 resource
    content_type,       # Optional: MIME type
    content_disposition # Optional: Content-Disposition header
)

Rust

Structure

The script must contain a function called main with proper return type:

use anyhow::anyhow;
use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Serialize, Debug)]
struct ReturnType {
    result: String,
    count: i32,
}

fn main(param1: String, param2: i32) -> anyhow::Result<ReturnType> {
    Ok(ReturnType {
        result: param1,
        count: param2,
    })
}

Important:

• Arguments should be owned types
• Return type must be serializable (#[derive(Serialize)])
• Return type is anyhow::Result<T>

Dependencies

Packages must be specified with a partial cargo.toml at the beginning of the script:

//! ```cargo
//! [dependencies]
//! anyhow = "1.0.86"
//! reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json"] }
//! tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
//! ```

use anyhow::anyhow;
// ... rest of the code

Note: Serde is already included, no need to add it again.

Async Functions

If you need to handle async functions (e.g., using tokio), keep the main function sync and create the runtime inside:

//! ```cargo
//! [dependencies]
//! anyhow = "1.0.86"
//! tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
//! reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json"] }
//! ```

use anyhow::anyhow;
use serde::Serialize;

#[derive(Serialize, Debug)]
struct Response {
    data: String,
}

fn main(url: String) -> anyhow::Result<Response> {
    let rt = tokio::runtime::Runtime::new()?;
    rt.block_on(async {
        let resp = reqwest::get(&url).await?.text().await?;
        Ok(Response { data: resp })
    })
}

Snowflake

Arguments use ? placeholders.

Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:

-- ? name1 (text)
-- ? name2 (number) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ? AND age > ?;

Check that the types exist if you plan to extend this function for other SQL engines.

def infer_sql_type(value) -> str

def parse_sql_client_name(name: str) -> tuple[str, Optional[str]]

Decorator that marks a function as a workflow task.

Works in both WAC v1 (sync, HTTP-based dispatch) and WAC v2

(async, checkpoint/replay) modes:

- v2 (inside @workflow): dispatches as a checkpoint step.

- v1 (WM_JOB_ID set, no @workflow): dispatches via HTTP API.

- Standalone: executes the function body directly.

Usage::

@task

async def extract_data(url: str): ...

@task(path="f/external_script", timeout=600, tag="gpu")

async def run_external(x: int): ...

def task(_func = None, path: Optional[str] = None, tag: Optional[str] = None, timeout: Optional[int] = None, cache_ttl: Optional[int] = None, priority: Optional[int] = None, concurrency_limit: Optional[int] = None, concurrency_key: Optional[str] = None, concurrency_time_window_s: Optional[int] = None)

Create a task that dispatches to a separate Windmill script.

Usage::

extract = task_script("f/data/extract", timeout=600)

@workflow

async def main():

data = await extract(url="https://...")

def task_script(path: str, timeout: Optional[int] = None, tag: Optional[str] = None, cache_ttl: Optional[int] = None, priority: Optional[int] = None, concurrency_limit: Optional[int] = None, concurrency_key: Optional[str] = None, concurrency_time_window_s: Optional[int] = None)

Create a task that dispatches to a separate Windmill flow.

Usage::

pipeline = task_flow("f/etl/pipeline", priority=10)

@workflow

async def main():

result = await pipeline(input=data)

def task_flow(path: str, timeout: Optional[int] = None, tag: Optional[str] = None, cache_ttl: Optional[int] = None, priority: Optional[int] = None, concurrency_limit: Optional[int] = None, concurrency_key: Optional[str] = None, concurrency_time_window_s: Optional[int] = None)

Decorator marking an async function as a workflow-as-code entry point.

The function must be deterministic: given the same inputs it must call

tasks in the same order on every replay. Branching on task results is fine

(results are replayed from checkpoint), but branching on external state

(current time, random values, external API calls) must use step() to

checkpoint the value so replays see the same result.

def workflow(func)

Execute fn inline and checkpoint the result.

On replay the cached value is returned without re-executing fn.

Use for lightweight deterministic operations (timestamps, random IDs,

config reads) that should not incur the overhead of a child job.

async def step(name: str, fn)

Server-side sleep — suspend the workflow for the given duration without holding a worker.

Inside a @workflow, the parent job suspends and auto-resumes after seconds.

Outside a workflow, falls back to asyncio.sleep.

async def sleep(seconds: int)

Suspend the workflow and wait for an external approval.

Use get_resume_urls() (wrapped in step()) to obtain

resume/cancel/approval URLs before calling this function.

Returns a dict with value (form data), approver, and approved.

Example::

urls = await step("urls", lambda: get_resume_urls())

await step("notify", lambda: send_email(urls["approvalPage"]))

result = await wait_for_approval(timeout=3600)

async def wait_for_approval(timeout: int = 1800, form: dict | None = None) -> dict

Process items in parallel with optional concurrency control.

Each item is processed by calling fn(item), which should be a @task.

Items are dispatched in batches of concurrency (default: all at once).

Example::

@task

async def process(item: str):

...

results = await parallel(items, process, concurrency=5)

async def parallel(items, fn, concurrency: Optional[int] = None)
