Workflows

Automate multi-step processes on your data: branching, approvals, waits, and AI steps.

In the background

Workflows carry out multi-step processes automatically — when a record is created, when a date passes, or when someone kicks one off by hand. Steps run in the background and every run keeps a complete history.

Step types at a glance

StepWhat it does
Update / create recordsChange data as part of the process
Conditional branchTake different paths depending on field values
WaitPause for a duration or until a relative date
Require approvalStop and hold until an authorized person signs off; the affected record locks for editing while it waits
AI actionSend content to the AI fleet for summarization or extraction, and use the result downstream
NotifySend a notification to a user or role

Editing a live workflow

Editing a workflow never disturbs runs already in flight. Your edit becomes a new version; new runs use it, and existing runs finish safely on the definition they started with.

Watching runs

Every run shows its step-by-step history — what ran, what it changed, and where it's waiting. Failed steps retry automatically before surfacing as failures you can inspect.

Tip

Start with one small workflow that saves ten minutes a day, confirm it behaves, then grow it. Big first workflows are where debugging time goes to live.
