Describe what you want to automate

After signing up, you’ll land in the workflow canvas. The Prowork chat panel is open. Describe the process you want to automate:I get a CSV of orders from our warehouse every day. I need to match them against our Shopify orders, find anything that's missing, and send the exceptions to a Google Sheet.Be specific about your data sources, what needs to happen, and where the results should go. See Prowork Best Practices for tips on writing good descriptions.

Answer follow-up questions

Prowork asks clarifying questions about your data and your process. Answer in plain language. These questions help Prowork build the right steps with the right logic.

Review the workflow

Prowork builds steps on the canvas. Click any step to see:
  • What operation it performs
  • The logic and configuration
  • A preview of the data at that stage
If something’s off, tell Prowork in the chat for corrections or clarifications.

Connect your data

Click on source steps to authenticate with your systems (Google Sheets, Shopify, NetSuite, email, etc.). Run the flow to see real results with your actual data.

Schedule it

Once the workflow produces correct results, set it to run automatically:
  • Hourly, daily, or weekly on a fixed schedule
  • Triggered by a new email, file, or webhook
  • Manual whenever you click “Run”
