# Node Reference Overview

A **node** is one step in a workflow. Start with a trigger, then connect the logic, flow, and action nodes you need.

## Premium query nodes

Some plugins unlock premium nodes inside of Flowcrafter. For example, [Populate Anything](https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-populate-anything/) provides [Get Posts](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/get-posts/), [Get Users](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/get-users/), [Get Database Rows](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/get-database-rows/), and [Get Taxonomy Terms](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/get-taxonomy-terms/). See [Premium Nodes & Upgrades](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/premium-and-upsells/) for locked nodes and optional enhancements.
