The workflow templates gallery

Prebuilt automations you install as a draft in one click, then adapt. Faster than a blank flow, and a good way to see how the pieces fit together.

Updated August 2026

The hardest part of a first automation is not building it, it is knowing what to build. Templates solve that by showing finished examples you can read and adapt.

They install as drafts, so nothing starts running because you were curious.

Who this is for

Anyone new to automation, and experienced users who would rather start from a recipe.

Before you start

  • Permission to create workflows.
  • Whatever the template depends on — a pipeline, a template, an integration — depending on which one you pick.

Installed as a draft, not switched on
Installing a template does not start it running. It arrives as a draft for you to read, adapt and then activate deliberately. That makes the gallery safe to browse and install from while you are still learning what the pieces do.

Use a template

  1. Browse for something close to your problem
    It does not have to be exact. A template that is roughly right is a better starting point than a blank flow.
  2. Install it as a draft
    One click. Nothing runs yet — you now have a complete flow to read.
  3. Read it before changing it
    Templates are the clearest available documentation of how triggers, conditions and actions fit together. Reading one teaches more than the concepts do.
  4. Adapt it to your setup
    Change the trigger, tighten the condition, point the actions at your own templates and people. The structure survives; the specifics are yours.
  5. Dry-run it
    Adapted or not, dry-run before activating. A template built for a different setup can match far more than you expect in yours.
  6. Turn it on
    Activate deliberately once the dry run matches expectation.

What you get

  • A working automation faster than building from scratch.
  • A readable example of how the pieces fit together.
  • Safe browsing, because installs arrive as drafts.
  • A structure to adapt rather than a blank canvas.

Frequently asked questions

Does installing a template turn it on?

No. It installs as a draft. You adapt it and activate it deliberately, which is what makes the gallery safe to explore.

Should I use a template or build from scratch?

Start from a template if anything is close. Even one you end up changing heavily teaches you the shape faster than a blank flow.

Do I still need to dry-run an installed template?

Yes. It was written for a generic setup, not yours — its conditions may match very differently against your data.

Can I make my own templates?

The gallery ships with prebuilt ones. For your own repeated patterns, duplicating an existing workflow is the practical equivalent.
