Workflows
Workflows automate the repetitive jobs you'd otherwise do by hand — importing products from a spreadsheet, syncing inventory from a supplier feed, pulling orders from a partner, or emailing you a reminder on a schedule. A workflow is a sequence of steps that runs on a trigger. Start from a ready-made template, or build your own from scratch on the canvas.
Concepts
- How workflows work — triggers, nodes, and the draft-to-active lifecycle.
Build Workflows
Create a workflow from a template or from scratch, read channel order fields, store credentials, and review run history. Start at Build Workflows.
- Create a workflow from a template — scaffold a workflow and publish it, no canvas editing required.
- Build a workflow from scratch — add a trigger, chain and configure nodes, then publish.
- Use the sales channel order in a workflow — read Shopify tags, note attributes and other channel-only fields in conditions.
- Store credentials for workflows — save the FTP logins, API keys, and Google accounts your steps use.
- Review a workflow's run history — see every run, what each step did, and why a run failed.
- Workflow templates reference — the ready-made templates and what each does.
Record Automations
Run a workflow by hand on the supplier, product, order or customer you're looking at, and hand work to a script or AI agent on your own machine. Start at Record Automations.
- Add an automation to a record — a one-click action in the record's Automate menu, with the questions it asks.
- Run an automation on a record — from the menu, a header button or a list selection, and follow each run.
- Run a script or AI agent on your own machine — Agent Runners, and when to use one instead of a webhook.
Workflow Examples
Worked workflows you can copy as they are, or use as a pattern for your own. Start at Workflow Examples.
- Get an email reminder about unsubmitted purchase orders — a scheduled reminder, built end to end.
- Route orders to the right warehouse automatically — let a workflow pick where each order ships from.
- Add an insert to every order with a workflow — put a thank-you card or free sample on each order before it ships.
