Ask your agent to create or change a workflow

Steps

1. Ask in a conversation

   Describe what the workflow should do and, if it should repeat, when. For example: “Save a workflow that checks our pricing page for broken links every weekday at 9 AM New York time.”

2. Let the agent save it

   The agent saves the workflow with Enjoy’s own tools. Its reply usually links to the workflow.

3. Check what was saved

   On the computer app and the web app, if you’re in that project, Enjoy switches to Workflows with the new workflow highlighted and its details open. Otherwise, open Workflows and select it. Read the instructions and the schedule.

4. Adjust if needed

   Select Edit workflow to change anything yourself, or ask the agent to change it.

Good to know

• Saving doesn’t run it. The workflow runs at its next scheduled time, or when you run it.
• Schedules start right away. A schedule an agent sets is active as soon as it’s saved, with no extra review.
• Agents can change existing workflows, including ones you wrote, and move them between collections. They read the latest version first, so they don’t overwrite changes made in the meantime.
• Agents can’t delete workflows or start runs. Do those yourself. See Delete a workflow and Run a workflow.
• Agents can’t set a preferred agent. Set it yourself. When an agent updates a workflow, its preferred agent stays as it was. See Choose which agent runs a workflow.
• Agents can look up your workflows and read their instructions, so you can ask questions like “Which of our workflows touch the release process?”
• If you’re editing a workflow when the agent saves a new one, Enjoy waits until you leave the editor before showing it.
• The iPhone app works too: ask in a conversation there, and the new workflow appears in the project’s Workflows tab.

If something goes wrong

The schedule on the row doesn’t match what you asked for

The agent writes the schedule description shown on the workflow’s row. To see the settings Enjoy actually uses, select the workflow and then the schedule in its details. Repeat shows the real timing. Fix it there and select Save workflow, or ask the agent to correct it.

The agent says the workflow changed

Someone edited the workflow while the agent was working on it. The agent needs to read it again before updating. Ask it to try again.
