General Process to Run Any Workflow

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 Control Flow node that requires external input, such as a Human node or a Merge node waiting for a branch to complete.

2. Complete Necessary External Steps

If the workflow hits a Human node, you must provide the required input to continue the process:

Check External Tool

Look for the notification sent by the system (e.g., check your email inbox for an approval request)

Provide Input

Interact with the notification (e.g., reply with a keyword like ‘Yes’ or ‘Deny’) to signal the workflow to resume

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.
