Use the workflow assistant

The workflow assistant helps turn a plain-language goal into a first workflow draft. Use it to get started, then review and tighten the nodes before running anything important.

Good Requests

Good assistant prompts describe the trigger, source, action, and review boundary:

Create a workflow that watches a Gmail label, extracts action items, asks an agent to draft a project update, and sends me a dashboard notification for review.

Create a manual workflow that runs a read-only repo analysis, writes a summary artifact, and never requests repo-write approval.

Create A Draft

Open the workflow designer.
Start a new workflow.
Open the assistant panel.
Describe the workflow you want.
Review the generated nodes before saving.
Open each node and confirm its settings.
Save the workflow.
Run a safe test.

Review The Draft

Before running the workflow, check:

trigger type and trigger inputs;
connector account selection;
connector scopes;
agent role and model;
allowed tools;
approval policy;
output paths;
notification destination;
retry and failure behavior.

Refine With Follow-Up Prompts

Use specific edit prompts:

Add a manual approval before any external message is sent.

Change the first agent step to read-only analysis and remove repo-write tools.

Add a dashboard notification when the verifier fails.
