Publish a Workflow

Learn how to publish your workflow so it runs automatically and starts moving data between your apps.

Before you begin

Before you start, make sure you have:

A workflow with the trigger fully configured and tested
All action steps configured, mapped, and tested
A name entered for your workflow

How publishing works

Publishing is the step that makes your workflow live. Once published, Conduitly begins monitoring your trigger app immediately and runs the workflow automatically every time the trigger event occurs.

When you click Publish, the workflow goes live.

If any required fields are incomplete, the Publish button will be unavailable until they're filled in.

Visual Designer Steps

1. Name your workflow

In the top toolbar, click the workflow title field (it shows "Untitled" if you haven't named it yet) and enter a descriptive name. A clear name makes it easier to identify the workflow in your dashboard and Activities log later.

2. Click Publish

Click the blue Publish button in the top-right corner of the toolbar. The workflow publishes immediately.

3. Confirm success

You'll be redirected to the Home page. A green toast notification appears in the top-right corner confirming the workflow is live.

Your published workflow now appears in the Your Workflows section on the Home page, showing the connected app icons, workflow name, and last run status.

Basic Designer Steps

If you're building in the Basic Designer, the publish button is in a different location but works the same way.

1. Click Save & Publish

Click the Save & Publish button in the bottom right corner of the Basic Designer. The workflow publishes immediately and the same success state applies. You'll be redirected to the Home page with a green confirmation toast.

What to expect next

Once published, your workflow is active. Here's what that means:

Conduitly begins polling your trigger app based on its schedule settings or listening for incoming webhook events.
Each time the trigger event occurs, the workflow runs and your action steps execute in sequence.
Every successful action counts as one task against your monthly limit.
You can monitor runs, see what data moved, and check for errors from Workflows → Activities in the sidebar.

Note: Publishing starts the workflow from this point forward. It will not process trigger events that occurred before you published.

Pausing or deactivating a workflow

If you need to stop a workflow from running without deleting it, you can deactivate it. You can toggle the workflow status on the dashboard and Workflows report, or you can edit the workflow in the builder, click the settings icon in the top toolbar, and toggle Workflow Status to inactive. The workflow will stop running until you reactivate it.
