What is a workflow?
A workflow is an automation that executes one or more actions across your applications and databases.
Workflow components
Each workflow has:
- A trigger
- At least one connection
- Code to control its business logic
When a workflow is published, a workflow run will happen each time the trigger occurs (e.g. on a schedule or when a webhook is received).
Workflow states
| State | In-app label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Created | Inactive | New workflow that has not been published yet. Can only be run manually from the IDE (for testing). |
| Published | Active | Live workflow that will run on a schedule or when a trigger event occurs. It will stay published until you deactivate or delete it. |
| Deactivated | Inactive | Deactivate a published workflow to prevent further runs. It can still be edited and re-published. |
| Deleted | n/a | Delete a workflow from the dashboard to permanently remove it. No further runs will be executed. |
