How To Build
Build it yourself — and know exactly how it works
An introductory course through text and video on Bosbec's Workflow Builder: the concepts, the tools, and how to go from an idea to a running process.
The core concepts
Four ideas you need before you build
Bosbec Workflow Engine (WE) is designed to receive data through different channels and react to it based on rules you define — no black box, just visible logic you can inspect at any time.
Triggers
Every workflow starts with a trigger — a file upload, an incoming message, a form response, or an API call. Triggers listen on "channels" and can filter for exactly the events you care about.
Jobs
Once a trigger fires, a series of jobs process the incoming information and perform the operations you've defined — automatically, in order, every time.
Units & data
Units store data with a key and value — an incident case, a store queue, a company department — and can be grouped for clearer overviews across your organisation.
Debug mode
Step through "Workflow Context" and "Workflow Stories" to see exactly what a workflow did, and why — the same visibility whether a human or an AI built it.
The course
Four episodes, start to finish
01
Build your first workflow
The essential tools in the Workflow Builder, and how to use dynamic data as your workflow runs.
02
Debug what you built
Test and debug the workflow from episode one using Workflow Context and Workflow Stories.
03
Capture data with forms
Use a form to register newsletter sign-ups, with every registration saved as a unit in a group.
04
Connect the outside world
Set up HTTP-in API endpoints, create API keys, manage expiration reminders, and explore the Workflow Library.
If you have a background in programming, you'll recognize the concepts. If you don't, you won't need to.
