# Workflows

> Give a worker repeatable automations it can run on demand or from triggers.

Workflows are step-by-step automations a worker can use to complete structured work.

A workflow might extract data, draft a document, review a file, update a system, ask for approval, or combine several of those steps into a repeatable process.

## What workflows give a worker

When you attach a workflow to a worker, the worker can choose it when a request matches that capability.

Use workflows for processes that should be:

* Repeatable
* Auditable
* Consistent across users
* Easier to maintain than a long prompt
* Connected to templates, tools, or knowledge bases

## Examples

Good workflow capabilities include:

* Review a contract and produce a risk summary
* Generate a client onboarding pack
* Extract invoice details and route exceptions
* Draft a weekly status report
* Compare a document against a policy checklist

## How workflows appear in the skill tree

Workflows appear as connected capabilities in the skill tree. Selecting a workflow opens it in the workflow builder so you can inspect or edit the process.

<Warning>
  Publish workflows before relying on them in workforce. Draft workflows may not be available to the worker.
</Warning>

## Best practices

* Use clear workflow names and descriptions.
* Keep each workflow focused on one business process.
* Include required inputs and outputs in the workflow description.
* Connect any templates, tools, or knowledge needed by the workflow.
* Test workflows before assigning them to high-volume workers.
