Workflows

Automate business logic and user interactions with ForgeZap workflows. Create powerful automation without writing code.

Visual Automation

Workflows provide a visual way to automate complex business processes. Connect triggers, actions, and conditions to create sophisticated automation.

What are Workflows?

Workflows are automated sequences of actions that respond to triggers. They help you automate repetitive tasks, handle business logic, and create interactive user experiences.
