Workflows

When something happens in your business, the next step follows, the same way every time.

Choose what starts it and what to check, then the steps: update a record, create one, tell the right person, wait for a date, or let an AI step judge. Try it on a real record before it runs, and every change it makes shows in the record's history.

Say what happens next, once.

A workflow is a rule your business already follows, written down so it runs by itself: the moment something happens, the steps follow, on any kind of record you keep. Follow one, Deal won, from the moment Tidewell's renewal is won.

Starts

Start from what happens

A record is created, changed or deleted, or joins a list. A deal reaches Won, a quote is accepted, an invoice is issued, a leave request is approved. Someone visits your website or sends a form. A goal slips, or a decision is due for review.

Acts

The steps do the work

Check the record with the same filters as your views and branch on yes or no. Then update a property, create a record, add it to a list, tell its owner or your admins, wait two days or until a date on the record, run another workflow, or take any other action SalexHub has.

Judges

An AI step where judgment is needed

Ask a model about the record, and its answer is written into a property you pick: a score, a summary, a category. The next step branches on it, and your team reads what it decided on the record itself. Each run's AI credits have a ceiling you set.

Tested first

Try it before it runs

Start from a template, then test the workflow on one of your records: you see what it would do, and nothing changes, nobody is told and no AI credits are spent. Changes to a live workflow stay a draft until you publish, and every version can be brought back.

The rules each person stops chasing.

Every business runs on rules somebody remembers. Here is one workflow for each person who used to remember it.

  • Sales

    No deal sits in a stage unnoticed.

    When a deal reaches Proposal, wait three days, then remind its owner to check in, with the deal named in the notice.

  • Accounts

    Won is invoiced the same day.

    When a deal is won, the invoice is created from its lines, ready to issue. A rule holds the large ones for a second pair of eyes.

  • Owner

    Hear about it when a goal slips.

    When the quarter's goal moves to at risk, tell the admins and open a task to review the pipeline, the day it happens.

  • Office

    An approved leave lands in everyone's plan.

    When a leave request is approved, tell the team lead and create a task to hand over the person's open work before they go.

Automatic, and never out of hand.

A workflow runs while nobody watches, so its limits are built in rather than hoped for.

Hold a step for approval
  • A budget on every run. Each run may take 100 steps and spend 50 AI credits unless you set other limits. Past them it stops and says so, rather than running on.

  • No chain reactions. A change a workflow makes never starts another workflow by itself. Only a Run workflow step starts one, and a workflow that would call itself in a circle is refused when you save it.

  • It picks up where it stopped. A run interrupted by an update carries on from the step it reached, and no step acts twice. A workflow that fails never undoes the change that started it, and its run history says what happened.

  • Someone stands behind it. Every run acts with the rights of the person who published the running version, and only on records they can open, never with more.

Where you build it, watch it and step in.

A workflow is drawn on a canvas, runs in the background, and comes back to people when it needs them.

The runs of one workflow over fourteen days, two of them failed, with each run's record, status and the AI credits it spent.
  • The canvas

    Drawn, not coded

    Add steps with the plus on the canvas, branch on yes and no, and see which other workflows start on the same event. Undo and redo as you go.

  • Run history

    Every run, replayable

    Each run with its record, its status, its steps and the AI credits it spent. Replay any run on the canvas to see which steps ran, which branch was taken and what failed.

  • Approvals

    Where held steps wait

    A step your approval rules hold waits with everything else that needs a decision, under the workflow's name. The run's history links straight to it.

    How approval rules work
  • The Agent

    Ask about any run

    Ask the Agent why a run stopped or what a workflow did this week, and it answers from the run history. Describe a new rule, and it drafts the workflow; saving or publishing it waits for your approval as a card, whatever the Agent may do on its own elsewhere.

Questions about Workflows

Can a workflow run on a schedule, every Monday say?

A workflow starts when something happens. For a job that repeats on the clock, such as a Monday summary, a Mini wakes on schedule and reports to you.

Can a workflow do something I am not allowed to do?

No. It acts for the person who published the version that runs, with that person's rights, and only on records they can open.

What if I want a person to check one step every time?

Add an approval rule for that action. When a run reaches it, the step waits in Approvals and the run stops there; approving it performs the step.

Write down the rule you keep repeating.

Start from a template, test it on a real record, and publish it when it does what you would have done.
