Introduction

Workflows are user-definable business process definitions which are the backbone of all high-order logic in the SimplyWork platform. Workflows are triggered by Events and utilize the tools of the Rules interface and Functions in order to make decisions and move data.

Event driven Workflows power all forms of logic and processes within the system, including:

• System activity (e.g. when a User logs in or out)
• Form validation (e.g. when a user wants to submit a form)
• Datastore CRUD updates (when an item in a datastore is added or update)
• Scheduled events (overnight processes, batch updates, system events)

The entirety of the SimplyWork platform is built upon these workflows, and can allow customers and partners to extend the system.

The diagram below shows the relationship between events, workflows and the triggers which cause events, and in-turn Workflows, to run:
