# Workflow overview

This article gives an overview of the workflow feature.

## What is a workflow?

A workflow runs a series of steps by combining blocks such as AI agents and conditional branches.

With workflows, you can run tasks that chain together step-by-step processing, including complex tasks.

## Workflow features

### Reusing workflows

A workflow accepts the information it needs at run time as input. Inputs can be text, numbers, files, and more.

Using the same workflow, you can run it against different targets or under different conditions.

### Flexible execution triggers

Run a workflow manually when you need it, or set up a trigger to run it automatically.

Supported triggers include manual execution, execution via the API, and GitHub events (when the integration is set up).

You can incorporate workflows flexibly into your daily operations.

### Semi-automated workflows

You can also pause a workflow midway for human review.

By marking the blocks that need review as required, the workflow only proceeds after a person has checked the output.

This makes it possible to keep humans in the loop for the critical decisions, instead of automating everything end to end.

### Generating artifacts

Outputs produced by a workflow, such as generated documents, can be saved as artifacts when needed.

Artifacts are useful when you want to preserve results that need to be reviewed or shared.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.genesis.autify.com/workflow/workflow-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
