Workflows

Orchestrate multi-step processes across multiple agents with automated sequencing, approvals, and notifications.

Overview

Workflows let you define automated pipelines that coordinate work across agents. Instead of manually creating tasks one at a time, a workflow handles the entire sequence — from start to finish — with dependencies, approvals, and notifications built in.

Plan Requirement

Workflows are available on the Pro plan and above.

How Workflows Work

A workflow is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of steps. Each step runs when its dependencies are complete, enabling parallel and sequential execution patterns.

Step Types

Step TypeDescription
Agent TaskDispatches a task to a specific agent
Human ApprovalPauses the workflow until a human approves
NotificationSends a notification (email, Telegram, in-app)

Trigger Types

TriggerWhen It Runs
ManualYou start the workflow by clicking "Run"
ScheduledRuns on a cron schedule
Event-BasedTriggered by a system event

Visual Workflow Builder

Use the drag-and-drop visual builder to design workflows. Connect steps, set dependencies, and configure each step's parameters without writing code.

Use Cases

  1. Content pipeline — Draft (content agent) → Review (human approval) → SEO Optimize (SEO agent) → Publish (publishing agent) — four agents coordinated in sequence
  2. Onboarding workflow — Welcome email (notification) → Setup checklist (agent task) → 7-day check-in (scheduled notification) — an automated onboarding sequence

Tips

  • Start simple — a two-step workflow with one agent and one approval is a great first workflow
  • Use human approval steps at critical decision points to maintain quality control
  • Test workflows with low-stakes tasks before using them in production
  • Install workflow templates from the Marketplace for common patterns
