What is a Workflow?

A workflow consists of a trigger and actions. The trigger determines when a workflow will run, and the actions define what happens with the data.

How it works

The trigger can be:
  • Manual - triggered by clicking a button
  • Scheduled - triggered at specific intervals
  • From another application - triggered by events (e.g., new calendar event)
  • From inbound emails - triggered by emails to generated email addresses
The data from these triggers can be passed through steps for processing and is normally output somewhere else at the end.

Example

Create a workflow that triggers whenever a new email comes in, checks if it is spam using AI, and automatically archives it if so.

Organization

You can add tags for each workflow in the main workflow table and filter by tags when viewing. This helps you organize and manage workflows by category, project, or type.
