Workflow Builder

Overview

Building automated workflows traditionally means either learning a visual workflow builder (Zapier, Make) or writing custom integration code. Workflow Builder eliminates both by letting you describe your desired automation in plain English.

“When a new GitHub issue is labeled ‘bug’, create a Linear ticket, post to the #bugs Slack channel, and assign it to the on-call engineer” — that’s all you need to say. The skill translates your intent into a working multi-step workflow with error handling and retry logic built in.

Powered by Composio’s 200+ app integrations, it handles OAuth, API rate limits, and data transformation automatically.

How It Works

1. Describe — Tell the agent what workflow you want in natural language
2. Design — The skill decomposes your request into discrete steps and identifies required integrations
3. Connect — OAuth flows for any needed app connections
4. Deploy — The workflow runs automatically with monitoring and error alerts
5. Iterate — Modify workflows by describing changes in natural language

Use Cases

• Incident response — Auto-create tickets, notify teams, and start runbooks
• Sales automation — CRM updates, follow-up emails, and pipeline management
• DevOps pipelines — Connect GitHub, CI/CD, deployment, and monitoring
• Content distribution — Publish content across multiple platforms simultaneously
• Data sync — Keep databases, spreadsheets, and SaaS tools in sync

Getting Started

from composio import ComposioToolSet

toolset = ComposioToolSet()
workflow = toolset.create_workflow(
    "When a new PR is merged to main, run tests, deploy to staging, "
    "and post the deployment URL to Slack #deployments"
)
workflow.activate()

Example

Input: "Every Monday at 9am, pull last week's sales data from
Salesforce, create a summary chart, and email it to the sales team"

Created Workflow:
1. ⏰ Trigger: Cron — Monday 9:00 AM
2. 📊 Action: Salesforce — Query last 7 days of opportunities
3. 📈 Action: Generate summary chart (matplotlib)
4. 📧 Action: Gmail — Send to sales-team@company.com

Status: Active ✅
