Introduction to Workflows
Workflows are powerful tools that allow you to automate repetitive tasks and connect one or more applications. This automation can save you significant time and effort, making your work processes more efficient.
Benefits of Using Workflows
Consider how workflows could be beneficial to you. Ask yourself the following questions: - Do you perform certain tasks repeatedly? - Do you frequently switch between different applications to complete your work? - Do you receive application notifications via email and wish to manage them better? - Do you often ask the same questions in channels or private conversations? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, implementing workflows could greatly enhance your productivity.

To create a workflow, follow these steps: 1. Click on the three dots in the left panel of your application. 2. Select 'Workflows' from the dropdown menu. 3. Click on 'Create' to start a new workflow. You will then access a list of available workflows categorized by actions and the applications they connect to.
Specific Workflows for Channels
