Clawflows — Workflow Orchestration

Build and run multi-step automated workflows.

Workflow Definition

Define workflows as a sequence of steps:

Workflow: {name}
Trigger: {manual | schedule | event}

Steps:
1. {action} → store result as {variable}
2. If {condition}: {action}
3. For each {item} in {list}: {action}
4. {final action} using {variable}

Examples

Daily Summary Workflow

1. Fetch unread emails → store as emails
2. Fetch calendar events for today → store as events
3. Fetch open GitHub issues assigned to me → store as issues
4. Summarize all into a daily briefing

Deploy Workflow

1. Run tests → store result as test_result
2. If tests pass: build project
3. If build succeeds: deploy to staging
4. Run smoke tests on staging
5. If smoke tests pass: deploy to production

Flow Control

• Sequential: Steps run one after another
• Conditional: If {condition} / Else
• Loop: For each {item} in {list}
• Parallel: Run simultaneously: step A, step B
• Error handling: On error: {fallback action}

Guidelines

• Keep workflows focused — one workflow per goal
• Always include error handling for critical steps
• Store intermediate results in named variables
• Test workflows with dry runs before automating
