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

  1. Click People in the top navigation
  2. Click the Workflows sub-tab
  3. Available to Owners and Organization Admins

Creating a Workflow

  1. Click Create Workflow
  2. Name your workflow
  3. 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)
  4. Connect nodes by linking outputs to inputs
  5. 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
Execution counts appear via the optional Workflow Health dashboard widget — there is no per-workflow log viewer in the UI.

Best Practices

  1. Start simple - One trigger, one action, then expand
  2. Test with a small group - Verify behavior before enabling org-wide
  3. Name clearly - Describe what the workflow does
  4. Review execution counts - Check the Workflow Health dashboard widget periodically
  5. Disable when not needed - Avoid unintended automation
Workflows can send emails and modify data automatically. Review carefully before enabling.
