Create Useful Workflows
Use Workflows when the same process needs to run more than once with predictable inputs, checks, and tool actions. A workflow should remove repeated manual steps, not hide unclear decisions. Use webhooks only when the trigger and its authentication boundary are understood.
Good Workflow Candidates
- Create a task or ticket from a structured intake.
- Summarize a recurring recording and route action items.
- Check a source, classify the result, and notify the right team.
- Run a reporting sequence that uses the same data collection each time.
- Prepare an external update and wait for approval before sending.
Before You Build
Define:
- Trigger or input.
- Agent or tool that should handle each step.
- Data collection or memory source.
- Approval points.
- Failure owner and retry rule.
- Final output or external system update.
Keep workflows inspectable If a workflow changes another system, make the payload visible before approval and review Tool Executions when something fails.
Example Flow
- User submits an intake request.
- Agent summarizes the request and checks missing fields.
- Agent searches the approved data collection.
- Tool creates a draft task or ticket.
- Human reviews the payload.
- Workflow records the result and marks the task for review.
Debug A Workflow
When a workflow fails, open the related conversation or Tool Executions. Check which action failed, whether the approval state is pending, whether the connection expired, and whether the input was complete.
