The workflow builder is where you design, configure, and publish your automations. It provides a visual canvas to connect triggers and actions, test your logic, and monitor performance.

Opening the builder

From the Workflows list, click any workflow name or select Edit Workflow from its three-dot menu. The builder opens on the Builder tab.

Builder layout

Workflow name

At the top of the page you’ll find the workflow name with a pencil icon to edit it inline. Use a clear, purpose-driven name like “Appointment reminder — 24hr” so your team can identify it at a glance.

Canvas

The canvas is the main working area. Triggers appear at the top; actions chain downward. The END block marks the last step of the workflow.
  • Add a trigger: Click + Add New Trigger
  • Add an action: Click the + icon at any point in the chain, or drag an action from the sidebar onto the canvas
  • Pause/resume an action: Hover over any action and click the pause/play icon to disable or re-enable it without deleting it
  • Copy an action: Click the three-dot menu on an action and select the clipboard icon, or right-click the action module
  • Zoom: Use the zoom controls or the four-corners icon to recenter your view

Publishing options (top right)

ControlDescription
Test workflowSimulate the workflow on a specific test contact
Draft / Published toggleSwitch the workflow between inactive and live states
Recent changesView a timestamped log of all edits; undo or redo changes
SaveCommit all pending changes (required after every edit on a published workflow)
While a workflow is in Draft mode, changes save automatically. Once published, you must click Save after each change.

Left-side menu

The left sidebar gives you quick access to workflow tools:
Add contextual notes to your workflow to explain specific steps or leave reminders for teammates. Notes are visible inside the builder and don’t affect execution.
Scan the workflow for configuration errors and view suggested fixes. Use this before publishing to catch missing fields or misconfigured actions.
After publishing, view performance data for each action — including delivery, open, and click stats — for the last 30 days or a custom date range. Click any individual action for deeper metrics.
Place virtual sticky notes directly on the canvas to annotate specific areas. Great for complex workflows with many branches.
Browse and search your other workflows without leaving the current builder. Click a result to open it in a new tab.
Review previous versions of the workflow, restore an earlier state, or branch a new workflow from a past version.
Use AI to optimize your automation — it can analyze your current workflow and suggest improvements for efficiency and accuracy.

Testing your workflow

Before going live, always test your workflow:
1

Create a test contact

Go to Contacts, create a new contact with your own details (name, phone, email) that match what the workflow requires.
2

Enroll the test contact

In the test contact’s profile, scroll to Active workflows, click Add, and select the workflow. Leave the start time blank to begin immediately, or schedule it.
3

Observe execution

Check the Enrollment history tab in the workflow to confirm your test contact appears and is progressing through each step correctly.
4

Fix and repeat

If something doesn’t fire as expected, use the Troubleshooting panel to identify the issue, fix it, and re-test.
You can also click Test Workflow in the top-right corner to simulate the workflow on a chosen contact directly from the builder.
Always test workflows before publishing. Errors in live workflows can affect real contacts.
