How It Works

Three Simple Steps

01
1

Design Your Workflow

Use the visual canvas to drag and drop triggers, conditions, and actions. Build flows like 'When new lead → enrich → send email → notify Slack'.

02
2

Configure Triggers & Actions

Set up triggers (schedule, webhook, new record) and connect actions (send email, HTTP request, Slack message, AI processing).

03
3

Deploy & Monitor

Activate your workflow and watch it run. View execution logs, track success/failure rates, and debug issues from the dashboard.

Use Cases

Who It's For

Operations Teams

Automate repetitive processes: client onboarding, report generation, data syncing, and internal notifications.

Technical Founders

Build custom integrations between your tools without writing code. Connect APIs, process data, and trigger actions.

Agencies

Create automated workflows for client deliverables: report generation, content publishing, and data collection.

Real-World Example

Here's exactly how a real user would use Workflows to get results — step by step.

Automating New Customer Onboarding

Every time a new customer signs up, you need to: send a welcome email, notify your team in Slack, create a task in your project management tool, and schedule a follow-up check-in. Currently this is done manually.

1

Set up the trigger

Choose 'Webhook' trigger. This fires whenever your app sends a POST request to the workflow's unique URL — which happens on new customer signup.

2

Add the actions

Step 1: Send welcome email (using customer name and email from webhook data). Step 2: Post to Slack #new-customers channel. Step 3: HTTP POST to project management API to create onboarding task. Step 4: Schedule follow-up email for Day 7.

4-step workflow configured with drag-and-drop — no code written

3

Add conditional logic

Add a condition: If customer plan = 'Enterprise', also trigger a Slack DM to the sales manager and schedule a personal call.

Workflow now has branching logic — Enterprise customers get VIP treatment automatically

4

Deploy and monitor

Activate the workflow. First test run: webhook fires, email sent in 2 seconds, Slack notified in 3 seconds, task created, follow-up scheduled. All green.

Workflow runs 100% reliably. Execution logs show every step's input, output, and timing.

The Result

A 5-step onboarding workflow that previously required 10 minutes of manual work per customer now runs automatically in under 5 seconds. For 20 new customers/week, that's over 3 hours saved weekly.

Tips, Best Practices & FAQ

Everything you need to get the most out of Workflows — from pro tips to common questions.

Pro Tips

Start simple — build a 2-3 step workflow first and verify it works before adding complexity. It's easier to debug incrementally.

Use the execution logs to troubleshoot. Every step records its input, output, and any errors — so you can see exactly where things break.

Schedule workflows for off-peak hours when they involve heavy processing. This keeps your dashboard responsive during work hours.

Use webhooks to connect external tools — receive data from Zapier, your website forms, or any system that can send HTTP requests.

Good to Know

Workflows execute sequentially — each step must complete before the next begins. Very long workflows may take several minutes.

External HTTP actions depend on the target service's availability. Add error handling for critical external calls.

Active workflow limits depend on your plan: Growth allows 10, Scale allows unlimited.

Complex conditional branching (if/else trees) is supported but can be difficult to debug. Keep branching logic simple when possible.

Usage Cost

Each workflow execution costs based on the number of steps and actions. Simple 3-step workflows cost ~$0.01-0.05 per run. Workflows with AI processing steps cost more.

Pipeline Integration

Workflow Builder is the power user's pipeline tool. For complex multi-bot orchestrations that need conditional logic beyond what Pipelines offer, build a custom workflow.

Common Questions

How is this different from Pipelines?

Pipelines chain Stratus bots in a linear sequence triggered by events. Workflow Builder adds conditional logic, external integrations (HTTP, Slack, webhooks), custom scheduling, and branching — it's more flexible for complex automations.

Can I trigger a workflow from outside Stratus?

Yes — each workflow can have a webhook trigger URL. Send an HTTP POST request to that URL from any external system to start the workflow.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Zapier?

Workflow Builder is integrated into the Stratus platform. Your workflows can directly access data from other Stratus bots — leads, content, proposals, etc. No external API costs.

Do I need coding skills?

No. The visual builder uses drag-and-drop with pre-built actions. For advanced users, you can add custom JavaScript code blocks.

How many workflows can I create?

Up to 10 active workflows on Growth, unlimited on Scale. Each workflow can have multiple steps and conditional branches.
