Workflow basics

Workflows let your team orchestrate extra actions before an email is sent — adding a delay, swapping the template, and more — without changing your code.

  1. In your workspace, go to ‘Workflows’ and click ’+ New’.
  2. In the ‘Test data’ section, switch on ‘Use custom test data’.
  3. Stub out the data this workflow should receive — usually the same data your template is expecting.
  4. Configure the rest of the workflow — set an optional delay and pick a template.
  5. Click ‘Run workflow with test data’ to test.

Once you’re happy with the workflow, grab the code example at the top of the page and trigger it from your application.
