MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a marketing ops team builds a lead-routing workflow visually, then adds a short custom script step to normalize phone numbers before writing to the CRM.
What to evaluate before investing
- Identify which languages the custom-code steps support and where that code runs (sandbox, serverless function, your infrastructure).
- Ask who maintains custom code over time and whether version control or testing is supported.
- Check whether visual and code steps share state cleanly, or whether passing data between them requires workarounds.
Limitations and tradeoffs
The low-code label covers a wide spectrum; a platform that is 95% visual but breaks down on the last 5% of your requirements may cost more than a developer-first tool, so map your hardest use case first.
