A workflow is assembled from **blocks** — a trigger, then steps (wait, search, update, communication, manual action, calling another workflow, and so on) — and runs automatically based on its trigger. See the [Block list](/en/fonctionnalites/liste-blocs) for the details of each available block. A workflow and its steps: trigger, wait, communication — with one step completed successfully ## Workflow examples A few concrete examples: * **Multichannel outreach** — send a LinkedIn connection request, then a first LinkedIn message; if not connected, send an email; otherwise, enrich the phone number, create a manual task, and call the person. * **New opportunity** — when an opportunity is created, source (internally and externally) potentially relevant candidates, add them to a project, with human validation to keep or discard profiles. * **After an interview** — transcribe the interview, re-enrich the profile, generate a new version of the skills document from the enriched profile, then send a follow-up email to the candidate with next steps. * **Status sync** — when a candidate moves to "top profile" status in a project, also update their "top profile" status in the ATS. …and many more depending on your processes. ## Human validation Most blocks have a **human validation** option: the workflow **does not continue** until the user validates (or invalidates) it. This is handy for validating auto-sourced candidates, or for reviewing and personalizing certain emails before they're sent — anything that helps **keep quality high while doing volume** through automation. You can run everything fully automatically if you want, or — recommended — run it **semi-manually** to focus on the highest-value actions. A running workflow with a step awaiting approval: review the email, then validate and move to the next step ## Workflow templates by meeting use case When creating a meeting, you choose a **meeting use case**: **candidate**, **client**, **qualification**, or **internal** (see [Transcription](/en/fonctionnalites/transcription#use-case-per-meeting-type)). Cobalt provides **4 default workflow templates**, one for each of these use cases — designed for typical staffing agency (ESN) processes. Each template starts with a **creation trigger** (fires when a new transcription is created), followed by an **enrichment** step for the profile, then a **Condition** block that **routes by use case**: depending on the meeting's sub-use case — for a candidate: E1, E2, qualification prep…; for a client: prospecting…; internally: weekly… — the workflow continues down a different branch. Workflow triggered when a transcription is created, with enrichment then routing by use case A few examples of possible continuations depending on the sub-use case: * **After a first candidate interview (E1)** — send the candidate an email asking for a competitor's skills document. * **After a qualification prep** — send the candidate a recap of the key points to remember ahead of the qualification meeting with the client. * **After an interview** — automatically generate a new version of the skills document from the profile enriched by the transcription. See also [Interaction templates](/en/fonctionnalites/templates/interactions) for automatic meeting summaries. ## Execution tracking The dashboard's **Workflow** sidebar shows the real-time execution of your workflows. Steps requiring **human validation** — such as enrichment, task creation, or reviewing an email before it's sent — appear there as **to process**: validate them to move the workflow to its next step. **Filters** let you find executions by status: **In progress**, **To validate**, **Succeeded**, **Failed**, **Cancelled**, **Recipient replied**.
