Workflows
Workflows let you automate actions when people join teams, are added to the organization, or meet other conditions. Build visual workflow graphs in the People section.Platform: Web only. Workflows are at People → Workflows.
Overview
Workflows help you:- Automate onboarding - Trigger actions when people are added
- Team-based automation - Run workflows when team membership changes
- Visual builder - Connect trigger, condition, and action nodes
- Track execution - View workflow run history and stats
Accessing Workflows
- Click People in the top navigation
- Click the Workflows sub-tab
- Available to Owners and Organization Admins
Creating a Workflow
- Click Create Workflow
- Name your workflow
- Build the graph using nodes:
- Triggers - What starts the workflow (e.g., person added, team joined)
- Conditions - Rules that must be met
- Actions - What happens (e.g., send email, add to group)
- Connect nodes by linking outputs to inputs
- Save and enable the workflow
Workflow Dashboard
The People → Dashboard sub-tab can include a Workflow Status widget (picker label: Workflow Health) showing execution counts per workflow. Add it manually from the dashboard widget picker — it is not included by default.Managing Workflows
- Edit - Modify nodes and connections
- Enable/Disable - Turn workflows on or off without deleting
- Delete - Remove a workflow permanently
Best Practices
- Start simple - One trigger, one action, then expand
- Test with a small group - Verify behavior before enabling org-wide
- Name clearly - Describe what the workflow does
- Review execution counts - Check the Workflow Health dashboard widget periodically
- Disable when not needed - Avoid unintended automation
