How to create a workflow

Follow these steps to go from zero to an active, running workflow. You'll need access to the LSP tab to get started.

Steps

1. Open Workflow Automation

Go to the LSP tab and open the Workflow Automation section.

2. Click "Add New Workflow"

This opens the Create Workflow Automation modal.

3. Enter a title and choose a trigger

The trigger (called a Subscriber) determines what event starts the workflow. See Triggers reference for all available options.

4. Select the organization and save

Choose which organization the workflow applies to, then click Save. The workflow is created in Inactive status.

5. Add filters

Click the blue plus sign, or drag and drop a filter from the step list on the right. Filters narrow down which shipments the workflow applies to. See Filters reference for all available filters.

6. Add at least one action

Click the Filter / Action toggle at the top right to switch to the action form, then drag or select an action from the list. See Actions reference for all available actions.

7. Activate the workflow

Once an action is added, the Activate Workflow button becomes available. Click it to turn the workflow on.

Note: You can edit, duplicate, or delete an existing workflow by clicking the blue pencil or info icon on the right side of the workflow list.

Trigger and filter compatibility

Some triggers only work with specific filters. The system will alert you if there's a mismatch. Known required pairings:

Trigger Required filter
Attachment Added Attachment Type filter
Shipment Status Updated Original Status filter
Spot Quote Added Spot Quote filters
Alert Added / Resolved Original Alert filter
