Running automations

Learn the different ways you can run CodeWords workflows — from chat, from the run page, or automatically with schedules and triggers.

Ways to run a workflow

There are a few ways to run workflow automations in CodeWords.

Run from chat

In the chat where the workflow was built, click Run. That’s the fastest way to see how it performs and check you’re happy with the output.

Run page

Each time a workflow executes (manually, on a schedule, or via a trigger), a run page is generated. Each run page includes:

• Integrations — check whether connections are required to run the workflow
• Input fields — enter your data or reference points
• Run button — available once required inputs are filled in
• Workflow logs — see which step is in progress as the run updates
• Output — the result when the run finishes
• Error details — if the run failed, so you can go back to chat and ask Cody to fix it

If an automation doesn’t behave as expected, head back to the chat, reference the workflow, and ask Cody to fix it.

Schedules and triggers

You can run a workflow manually, or set up a schedule or trigger so it runs on its own.

See Schedules and triggers for the full walkthrough.
