Once you’ve configured and saved all the nodes in your application, you can initiate the process directly from the workflow canvas. This assumes any necessary starting data is already saved within the initial Event node (e.g., On Start) or will be provided immediately upon starting.

​
1. Start the Execution

1

Click the Start Button

Locate the blue Start button at the bottom of the workflow canvas.
2

Execution Begins

The workflow will immediately execute the first Event node, loading the initial data.
3

Workflow Pauses (if needed)

Execution will proceed automatically until it hits a node that requires external input, such as a Human Step node waiting on a person or a Wait & Combine node waiting for a branch to complete.

​
2. Complete Necessary External Steps

If the workflow hits a Human Step node, the person it reached must respond before the process continues:

Check the channel

Look for the message sent by the workflow (for example, an approval request in your email inbox or Slack)

Reply

Reply in plain words (for example, approve the request or send your answer). The node reads the reply and resumes the workflow on the matching branch.

​
3. Verify Automated Completion

Once the external step is satisfied, the rest of the Action nodes execute automatically.
Use the Execution History panel to monitor the progress of your workflow and verify that all nodes completed successfully.
