Overview
What are Workflows?
Workflows define structured procedures that AI follows to complete complex tasks. They include detailed instructions, expected inputs/outputs, and can have file attachments for context.
Collaborative Power
Share workflows across teams and organizations to standardize processes and ensure everyone follows the same proven procedures.
Workflow Structure
Each workflow is composed of several key components:Basic Information
Basic Information
- Name: A clear, descriptive name for the workflow
- Description: Optional detailed explanation of the workflow’s purpose
- Category: Organizational tag for grouping related workflows
- Scope: Individual, team, or organization-level access
Core Instructions
Core Instructions
- Prompt: The main procedure that AI will follow
- Expected Input: Description of what input the workflow expects
- Expected Output: Description of the desired result format
File Attachments
File Attachments
- Context Files: Documents, templates, examples, or reference materials
- Parsed Content: Files are automatically parsed and made available to AI
- Multiple Formats: Support for various file types including PDFs, documents, and code files
Creating Workflows
1
Define the Procedure
Write clear, step-by-step instructions for the task. Include:
- Specific actions to take
- Decision points and conditions
- Quality criteria and standards
- Output formatting requirements
2
Specify Input/Output
Clearly define:
- What type of input the workflow expects
- The desired format and structure of outputs
- Any prerequisites or dependencies
3
Attach Supporting Files
Upload relevant files that provide context:
- Templates and examples
- Style guides and standards
- Reference documentation
- Sample data or configurations
4
Set Scope and Category
Configure sharing and organization:
- Choose individual, team, or organization scope
- Assign to appropriate categories
- Set permissions and access controls
Best Practices
Use specific, actionable language in your workflow prompts. Instead of “analyze the data,” write “create a summary table showing key metrics, identify top 3 trends, and provide 2-3 actionable recommendations.”
Test workflows thoroughly before sharing them with your team. Run through the procedure manually to ensure it produces the expected results.
Workflow Scopes
Individual
Personal WorkflowsPrivate workflows for individual use. Perfect for personal productivity systems and custom procedures.
Team
Team CollaborationShared across team members. Ideal for standardizing team processes and ensuring consistent outputs.
Organization
Enterprise-wideAvailable to all organization members. Best for company-wide standards and critical business processes.
Categories and Organization
Workflows can be organized into categories for better management:Common Categories
- Development: Code review, testing, deployment procedures
- Documentation: Writing guides, API documentation, tutorials
- Marketing: Content creation, campaign planning, analysis
- Sales: Lead qualification, proposal generation, follow-up
- Support: Troubleshooting, escalation procedures, knowledge base
Benefits of Categorization
- Easy Discovery: Find relevant workflows quickly
- Better Organization: Group related procedures together
- Permission Control: Manage access by category
- Usage Analytics: Track workflow adoption by type
File Attachments and Context
Workflows support file attachments that are automatically parsed and provided as context to the AI during execution.
Documents
Documents
- PDF: Automatically extracted text content
- Markdown: Full content parsing with structure preservation
- Word Documents: Text extraction with formatting
- Text Files: Direct content inclusion
Code and Configuration
Code and Configuration
- Source Code: All programming languages supported
- Configuration Files: JSON, YAML, TOML, and more
- Scripts: Shell, PowerShell, Python scripts
- Database Schemas: SQL, migrations, seed data
Data and Templates
Data and Templates
- Spreadsheets: CSV, Excel data extraction
- Templates: Document templates, code boilerplates
- Examples: Sample outputs, reference implementations
- Specifications: API specs, requirements documents
Workflow Execution
How Workflows Work
- Activation: User selects and activates relevant workflows
- Context Loading: AI loads workflow instructions and attached files
- Rule Integration: Active knowledge are combined with workflow guidelines
- Execution: AI follows the procedure while adhering to all rules
- Output Generation: Result is produced according to expected output specifications
Managing Workflows
Workflow Dashboard
- Search and Filtering: Find workflows by name, category, or content
- Scope Filtering: View workflows by individual, team, or organization level
- Sorting Options: Order by name, creation date, or last modified
Permissions and Access
View Permissions
Users can view workflows based on their scope and team membership. Organization workflows are visible to all organization members.
Edit Permissions
Only workflow creators and authorized team/organization administrators can edit workflows.
