Running automations

Consuming automations helps you see how much time you'll save by building automated systems around your day-to-day tasks. Let's take a look at the different ways you can run CodeWords workflows.

Running workflow automations

There are a few different ways you can run workflow automations in CodeWords.

Run directly from chat

You can run workflows directly from the chat where the workflow was built by clicking Run . By doing so, you can quickly see how your workflow performs, and check that you're happy with the output.

Run page overview

Each time a workflow is executed (manually, on schedule, or via a trigger) a new Run page is generated.

Each run page includes:

• Integrations: A dropdown where you can check if integration connections are required to run the workflow.

• Input fields: Here's where you enter your unique data or reference points.

• Run button: You'll be able to click Run once you've filled in the required input fields.

• Workflow logs: After you've clicked Run , you'll be able to see which workflow action is currently in progress as the logs are updating.

• Output: Once your workflow has finished running, you'll receive your automated output.

• Error details: An alert error if your workflow has failed. From here, you'll be able to go back to the chat and ask Cody to fix it.

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

Schedules and triggers

You can choose whether you'd like to run your automation manually, or whether you'd like to set up a schedule or trigger that fully automated the workflow's process.
