Finding & Understanding the Side Navigation
From the left-hand side navigation, select Actions and then
-
Workflows
Workflows are a series of connected tasks that run in a specific order to complete a process—like pulling data, transforming it, and sending it somewhere else.
A workflow can include multiple tasks working together, or be as simple as a single task running on its own.
They help you automate repetitive work and keep everything organized in one place.
You can toggle between all of the workflows within a client, and only workflows you created using the My Workflows and All Workflows tabs at the top
-
Templates
Templates are pre-built tasks that help you connect to platforms, pull or push data, and automate common actions—no coding required.
On the Templates page, you can:
-
Browse the full library of platform integrations
-
Use templates in your workflows
-
Access custom templates built specifically for your client
-
Credentials
Credentials let you securely store login details, API keys, and other sensitive information that workflows need to connect to different platforms.
They’re saved once and then reused across tasks, so your team doesn’t have to enter them every time.
How To Explore Templates
-
From the left-hand side navigation, select Actions and then
Templates -
Use the search bar or scroll to quickly find the template you would like to use.
-

How To Create A Credential
First, remember to check your clients available credentials for that partner - your team may have already created a credential you could use in your workflow, so we recommend reviewing Active credentials before creating your own.
-
From the left-hand side navigation, select Actions and then
Credentials -
Use the search bar to find the platform you want to create a credential for and select it.
-
Give your credential group a clear, descriptive name you’ll recognize later - you won’t be able to change this moving forward, so make it count!
-
Enter the required details
-
Click “Test Credentials” to check if everything works
-
Once your credentials have been successfully tested, you’ll be able to click "Save Credential Group" to store them for future use in your workflows. This ensures your credentials are securely saved and ready whenever you need them.
