Creating and managing automation workflows
What is a Workflow?
A workflow is a series of connected steps (nodes) that run automatically when triggered. Each workflow has:
- A trigger that starts it (e.g., a schedule, a webhook, or a manual button)
- One or more action nodes that perform tasks
- Connections (edges) that define the order of execution
Creating a Workflow
- Click New Workflow from the dashboard
- Give your workflow a name
- Add a trigger node (what starts the workflow)
- Add action nodes (what the workflow does)
- Connect the nodes by dragging edges between them
- Test with the Run button
- Activate to run automatically
Managing Workflows
- Activate/Deactivate: Toggle workflows on or off without deleting them
- Duplicate: Copy a workflow as a starting point for a new one
- Version History: Track changes to your workflow over time
- Delete: Remove workflows you no longer need
