Harness the Power of Workflow Automation

Workflows are the process engine behind Odella. They give your AI employees repeatable steps for research, document drafting, data extraction, approvals, integrations, and other operational tasks.
Workflow Overview (Light Mode)

Automate Tasks

Turn repeatable work into structured processes that run consistently every time.

Power AI Employees

Give AI employees the workflows they need to execute tasks accurately from delegated requests.

Visual Workflow Canvas

Design processes with a visual builder that connects actions, logic, data, and AI blocks.

Live Debugging

Monitor workflows as they run and inspect each step to refine performance and reliability.

​
How Workflows Fit Into Odella

Workflows are like digital roadmaps. They guide AI employees through tasks from start to finish, ensuring the right information is gathered, the right logic is applied, and the right output is produced. Each AI employee can use:
  • Ready-made workflows for common tasks
  • Custom workflows designed around your organization’s process
  • Templates for document generation
  • Documents and knowledge bases for context and precedent
  • Integrations for connected tools and systems

​
Creating Workflows

Create a Workflow (Light Mode)
1

Start a New Workflow

Click New Workflow in the Workflows dashboard to begin creating a process.
2

Name and Describe the Workflow

Provide a clear name and description so team members and AI employees understand when the workflow should be used.
3

Design the Process

Add and arrange blocks in the workflow canvas to define each step of the task.
4

Configure and Connect Blocks

Set block inputs, outputs, and connections so data flows correctly through the workflow.
5

Test and Refine

Run the workflow, inspect outputs, debug issues, and adjust the process until it works reliably.
6

Save and Publish

Save the workflow and make it available to the AI employees that should be able to use it.

​
Connecting Workflows to AI Employees

Connect Workflows to AI Employees (Light Mode)
Workflows are attached to AI employees through their application configuration. Once connected, employees can select and run appropriate workflows when they receive a delegated task.
Workflows function as business processes you’ve taught your AI employees. Clear workflow names and descriptions help employees choose the right process for each request.

​
Workflow Building Blocks

Smart Blocks

Use preconfigured actions for AI reasoning, data transformation, document work, integrations, and control flow.

Logic and Branching

Add conditionals, matching, loops, batching, and subflows to model complex processes.

AI Orchestration

Coordinate multiple AI steps and models within a single workflow.

Operational Consistency

Standardize how tasks are completed so output follows your organization’s process and precedent.
Workflows are designed to enhance your team’s expertise, not replace review. Always validate outputs for business-critical work.
