Creating a blank workflow

You can create a new workflow from scratch using the workflow canvas in webMethods Integration.

Procedure

  1. Go to a project and select Integrations > Workflows.
  2. Click the New workflow link.
    A new window opens with the following options:
    • Create New Workflow- Create a blank workflow, and customize it based on your requirements. You can use the list of applications that webMethods Integration supports.
    • Check Recipes- Use one of the ready-to-use workflow templates provided by webMethods Integration to get started.
  3. Click Create New Workflow to create a new workflow.

Results

The webMethods Integration workflow canvas is displayed, where you can see an empty untitled workflow. You can mix and match triggers and operations to create workflows in the canvas.

What to do next

After creating your workflow by adding triggers and actions, the next steps are to save your work and trigger the workflow so it can run automatically.
Saving workflows
Connect the last action to the Stop icon and save your workflow.
Triggering workflows
Perform the trigger event linked to your workflow (for example, posting a message, uploading a file, or receiving an email) to start the workflow.
Note: Some trigger events might take more time to trigger the workflow. For more information, see Triggers.

You can monitor the workflow’s real-time progress on the canvas. After completion, verify the results based on your configured actions (such as receiving a notification or updating a system).
