Creating a Workflow

A workflow is a series of interrelated steps used to implement business logic or complete specific tasks. You can create workflows to complete specific tasks or instructions in agents or applications. Before using a workflow in an agent or application, you need to create an executable workflow.

Step 1: Creating a Workflow

  1. Log in to the agent development platform.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Workstation. On the Workflow tab page, click Create workflow in the upper right corner.
  3. In the Create workflow dialog box, select a workflow type. For details, see Dialogue-based Workflows and Task-based Workflows. Enter the workflow name, English name, and description.
  4. Click the image in the lower left corner of the dialog box to modify the workflow icon and click OK. The workflow orchestration page is displayed.

    Initially, a workflow contains the Start and End nodes.

    • The Start node is used to start a workflow.
    • The End node returns the execution result of a workflow.

Step 2: Orchestrating a Workflow

After creating a workflow, add nodes to the canvas and connect the nodes based on the task execution sequence.

Basic nodes are built in the workflow for you to use. You can also add plug-in nodes to execute specific tasks.

  1. Select the nodes you want to use in the left pane. (Nodes may vary depending on the version. Use the current version.)
  2. Connect the nodes.
  3. Set the input and output parameters of the nodes.
