How to create a workflow

Alternatively, you may open an existing form first or create a new one, then click Integrate on the top menu followed by Workflows.
 
Workflow triggers
A trigger refers to a condition that starts a specific action or series of actions. Examples are:
✅ Form submitted
🛒 Form abandoned
📆 Scheduling event canceled
🔄 Event rescheduled
⏳ Before event starts (reminder emails)
 
Then, choose an action and Edit it according to your preferences. To add more actions, press the + icon.

Workflow actions
Actions are the tasks or steps that are automatically carried out after a trigger occurs. Examples are:
⏱️ Delay ("wait 4 hours")
🔍 Filter
💬 Send Slack/Teams/Discord messages
🔗 Send Webhooks
