In today's interconnected business landscape, automating your processes often means orchestrating a symphony of different systems and services. This is where the power of API workflows comes into play. By connecting various applications through their APIs, you can create sophisticated automated flows that streamline operations, eliminate manual effort, and drive significant efficiency gains. But building reliable API workflows can be a challenge. External services can be unpredictable, network issues can arise, and ensuring a workflow completes successfully even when things go wrong is crucial.
This is precisely where Workflows.do shines. Workflows.do is your reliable partner for automating complex business processes, with a particular strength in orchestrating API-driven workflows that just work.
An API workflow is a sequence of automated tasks where each task interacts with an external system or service via its Application Programming Interface (API). Think of it as a digital assembly line, where instead of physical parts, you're moving and transforming data between different software applications.
Automating these workflows offers numerous benefits:
But the key to unlocking these benefits lies in building reliable API workflows.
Building API workflows can be tricky. When you connect to external services, you're relying on their availability and performance. Temporary outages, rate limits, and unexpected responses can cause your workflows to fail mid-execution, leaving processes incomplete and requiring manual intervention.
Ensuring your workflow can gracefully handle these scenarios, retry failed steps, and maintain its state throughout the entire process is paramount. This is where Workflows.do makes a significant difference.
Workflows.do is specifically designed to handle the complexities of business process automation, with a deep focus on reliability, especially for API-driven workflows. We provide the tools and architecture you need to build workflows that execute reliably, even when faced with external challenges.
Our platform offers:
Let's take a look at an example of how Workflows.do makes building powerful, reliable API workflows intuitive using our declarative approach:
import { AI } from 'workflows.do'
export default AI({
onUserSignup: async ({ ai, api, db, event }) => {
const { name, email, company } = event
// Enrich content details with lookup from external data sources
const enrichedContact = await api.apollo.search({ name, email, company })
const socialProfiles = await api.peopleDataLabs.findSocialProfiles({ name, email, company })
const githubProfile = socialProfiles.github ? await api.github.profile({ name, email, company, profile: socialProfiles.github }) : undefined
// Using the enriched contact details, do deep research on the company and personal background
const companyProfile = await ai.researchCompany({ company })
const personalProfile = await ai.researchPersonalBackground({ name, email, enrichedContact })
const socialActivity = await ai.researchSocialActivity({ name, email, enrichedContact, socialProfiles })
const githubActivity = githubProfile ? await ai.summarizeGithubActivity({ name, email, enrichedContact, githubProfile }) : undefined
// Schedule a highly personalized sequence of emails to optimize onboarding and activation
const emailSequence = await ai.personalizeEmailSequence({ name, email, company, personalProfile, socialActivity, companyProfile, githubActivity })
await api.scheduleEmails({ emailSequence })
// Summarize everything, save to the database, and post to Slack
const details = { enrichedContact, socialProfiles, githubProfile, companyProfile, personalProfile, socialActivity, githubActivity, emailSequence }
const summary = await ai.summarizeContent({ length: '3 sentences', name, email, company, ...details })
const { url } = await db.users.create({ name, email, company, summary, ...details })
await api.slack.postMessage({ channel: '#signups', content: { name, email, company, summary, url } })
},
})
This example demonstrates a complex onboarding workflow triggered by a new user signup. It orchestrates calls to various external APIs (Apollo, PeopleDataLabs, GitHub, your email platform, your database, and Slack) to enrich user data, perform research, schedule personalized communications, and notify internal teams. Crucially, Workflows.do handles the reliable execution of each of these API interactions, ensuring that even if an external service is temporarily unavailable, the workflow can recover and complete successfully.
Workflows.do goes beyond simple point-to-point integrations. It provides a platform for process orchestration, allowing you to define, manage, and monitor complex, multi-step business processes that span across multiple systems and teams. Our platform enables you to:
