Workflows
Automations your assistant runs for you.
9 min read
Workflows are what make Nudgly more than a to-do list. A workflow is something the assistant does on its own when a trigger fires: a time arrives, or an event happens. This is the assistant working while you are elsewhere.
Reading a workflow
Each one is a simple top-to-bottom flow: a WHEN block (the trigger, for example “8 AM daily”) followed by THEN blocks (the steps the assistant runs, in order: check calendar, prioritise tasks, send a brief).
The screen
On the left, your list of workflows with each one’s schedule and status — Live or Paused — plus counters for Live, Paused, and total runs. In the centre, the selected workflow’s flow, with a Live toggle and a “Run now” button. On the right, recent runs with a one-line result each, and a success rate.
How workflows get made
Most of the time you do not build these by hand. Your assistant offers to set one up in conversation — “Want me to draft your notes after every meeting from now on?” — and when you say yes, it builds the workflow and it appears here. You can then pause it, run it on demand, or edit it.
Approval
Workflows that only read or inform run silently. Workflows that send, book, or email pause and ask you first.
Examples in the launch set: a morning brief every day, a weekly plan every Monday, meeting prep 30 minutes before a call, a follow-up when an invoice is due, itinerary help when you book a trip.
