Embedding workflow automation into applications can streamline business processes, reduce manual effort, and ensure consistency. Choosing the right partner for your business process automation platform is important to ensure the ability to embed and extend your current offerings is capable. Our team will guide you through the steps of integrating our tool into your applications, demonstrating its flexibility and ease of use.


Why Embed Workflows?

Before diving into the technical details, it’s essential to understand the benefits of embedding workflows:

  1. Enhanced Productivity: Automates repetitive tasks, allowing users to focus on more strategic activities.
  2. Consistency: Ensures that processes are followed correctly every time, reducing errors.
  3. Transparency: Provides clear visibility into the status of various processes.
  4. Scalability: Easily scales with the growing needs of the business.


But, Wait! Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • Access to the FlowWright platform.
  • Basic understanding of the application where the workflow will be embedded.
  • Development environment set up for C#/.NET (or the relevant language for your application).


Step-by-Step Guide For Setting Up FlowWright


1. Setting Up FlowWright

First, you need to set up FlowWright in your environment. FlowWright provides comprehensive documentation and support for installation and configuration.

  • Install FlowWright: Follow the installation guide to set up FlowWright on your server. This involves configuring the database, setting up the application server, and configuring the necessary services.
  • Configure FlowWright: Once installed, configure FlowWright to connect to your application’s database and set up the necessary user permissions.


2. Designing Your Workflow

The next step is to design the workflow you want to embed. FlowWright’s graphical designer makes it easy to create and modify workflows.

  • Create a New Workflow: Using the FlowWright designer, create a new workflow. Define the start and end points, and add the necessary tasks and decision points.
  • Configure Tasks: Configure each task with the required parameters. This might include data inputs, outputs, and specific actions that need to be performed.
  • Set Conditions: Define conditions and decision points within the workflow to handle different paths based on the input data.


3. Embedding the Workflow

Now, let’s embed the designed workflow into your application.

  • API Integration: FlowWright provides a robust API that allows you to interact with workflows programmatically. You can start, stop, and monitor workflows using API calls.
  • Add FlowWright SDK: If you’re using C#/.NET, add the FlowWright SDK to your project. This SDK provides convenient methods for interacting with the FlowWright platform.
  • Triggering Workflows: In your application, trigger workflows based on specific events. For example, you might start a workflow when a new user registers or when an order is placed.


4. Monitoring and Managing Workflows

FlowWright provides comprehensive tools for monitoring and managing workflows.

  • Workflow Dashboard: Use the FlowWright dashboard to monitor the status of workflows. You can see which workflows are running, their current status, and any errors that have occurred.
  • Notifications: Configure notifications within FlowWright to alert you when specific events occur, such as a workflow failing or completing.


5. Advanced Features

FlowWright offers several advanced features that can enhance your workflows:

  • Custom Tasks: Create custom tasks within FlowWright to perform specific actions that are unique to your business.
  • Integration with Other Systems: FlowWright can integrate with other systems using its API, webhooks, and connectors. This allows you to create workflows that span multiple systems.
  • Error Handling: Implement error handling within your workflows to ensure that they can recover gracefully from failures.


Embedding workflows into your applications using FlowWright can transform how your business operates. Through automating repetitive tasks, ensuring consistency, and providing transparency, you can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency. With our software's robust features and easy integration, you can quickly start reaping the benefits of workflow automation.
