How to add Workflows?

You can add custom workflows to your apps which are basically a series of activities that take place in order to achieve a business outcome.

The first step is to create your app by adding fields in the Design App section. Once that is done you can configure it further in Configuration or go directly to Workflows for automating the app.

‍

Building Workflows

Here are the steps to build Workflows for automation.

‍

Step 1

Select the trigger tab where you want your workflow to run.

‍

Step 2

Click on Start and select your desired Workflow node.

‍

Step 3

Select a node and configure it on the Right Panel.

You can add several nodes in series or parallel based on your requirements.

‍

Common features of any workflow node:

‍

Step name

Step name refers to the name of the workflow. You can change the name accordingly.

‍

Variable name

Variable name refers to the unique name attributed to each node in the workflow. This is created automatically after you configure and save the workflow node and can be edited. It will appear before the step name.

‍

Parent step

Parent Step is referred to as the First Step from which the workflow starts or initiates. This is used to move workflow nodes around.

‍

Enable this step

By default, all the workflow nodes are turned on and the workflow steps will be executed.

If a node of the workflow is selected and the workflow step is turned off, this means the selected workflow node and the workflow steps below it will not be executed until it is turned back on.

‍

Run Workflow Trial

Once the workflow nodes have been added and configured, it can be trial tested to check if it works according with the app submissions.

This is used in case you do not want to disturb any existing submission data that you may have in your app already.

Next to the trigger tab, once workflows are added, a lightning symbol will appear next to it. Click on it to run trials.

On the right panel, app fields that have been configured in Design App will appear here. Fill it just like a live app and click on ‘Run Trial Workflow’.
