Managing your Projects

Projects are your workflows and apps in CodeWords; folders group them. Learn how to view, create, and organize projects and folders so you can find and manage your automations.

Overview

Projects in CodeWords are your automations: each project is a workflow or an app you build and run. Folders are how you group those projects so you can organize and filter them instead of one long list.

What are projects and folders?

• Projects

A project is a single automation—a workflow or an app. When you create a “project,” you’re creating the thing that runs on a schedule, trigger, or manually. So “projects” and “workflows/apps” are the same thing.

• Folders

Folders are the organizing layer. You put projects (workflows/apps) inside folders (e.g. “Marketing”, “Support”, “Personal”). Folders don’t run; they just help you find and manage your projects.

Viewing projects and folders

• Projects list

You’ll see your projects (your workflows and apps) as cards or a list. Each item is one automation. You can open a project to run it, edit it in chat, or set up schedules and triggers.

• Folders

Folders appear as groups or filters. You can open a folder to see only the projects inside it, or filter the list by folder so you’re not scrolling through everything.

• Filters

When choosing which automation to run or manage, you can filter by folder to show only the projects in that folder.

Creating and organizing

• Create a project

Creating a new project means creating a new workflow or app. You then build it in the chat with Cody, add steps, and set schedules or triggers as needed.

• Create a folder

Create a folder when you want a group (e.g. “Weekly reports”, “Slack bots”). Then move or assign existing projects into that folder, or create new projects inside it.

• Moving projects

When editing or managing a project (workflow/app), you can change which folder it’s in so it appears in the right group.

Run page and folder context

When you open a project’s run page, CodeWords knows which folder that project is in. Schedules, triggers, and run options are set per project (per workflow/app); folders only affect how you browse and filter.

When to use folders

• Different teams, clients, or areas (work vs personal).

• Types of automation (e.g. “Reports”, “Notifications”, “Slack”).

• Keeping the list manageable by filtering to one folder at a time.
