Definition\n\n**Create and configure the workflow**\n\n```bash\n# Create a new workflow\nintegratewise workflow create lead_qualification.yaml\n\n# Validate the workflow\nintegratewise workflow validate lead_qualification\n\n# Update an existing workflow\nintegratewise workflow update lead_qualification --version 2.0\n```\n\n### 2. Testing\n\n**Test the workflow before production use**\n\n```bash\n# Test with sample data\nintegratewise workflow test lead_qualification --input '{\"lead_id\": \"test_123\"}'\n\n# Dry run (no actual execution)\nintegratewise workflow test lead_qualification --dry-run --input '{\"lead_id\": \"test_123\"}'\n\n# Step-by-step testing\nintegratewise workflow test lead_qualification --step-by-step --input '{\"lead_id\": \"test_123\"}'\n```\n\n### 3. Deployment\n\n**Deploy the workflow to production**\n\n```bash\n# Deploy workflow\nintegratewise workflow deploy lead_qualification\n\n# Check deployment status\nintegratewise workflow status lead_qualification\n\n# Rollback to previous version\nintegratewise workflow rollback lead_qualification --version 1.0\n```\n\n### 4. Execution\n\n**Run the workflow**\n\n```bash\n# Manual execution\nintegratewise workflow run lead_qualification --input '{\"lead_id\": \"lead_456\"}'\n\n# Check execution status\nintegratewise workflow execution status execution_123\n\n# View execution logs\nintegratewise workflow execution logs execution_123\n```\n\n### 5. Monitoring\n\n**Monitor workflow performance**\n\n```bash\n# View workflow metrics\nintegratewise workflow metrics lead_qualification\n\n# View execution history\nintegratewise workflow history lead_qualification --limit 100\n\n# Set up alerts\nintegratewise workflow alert create lead_qualification --condition \"error_rate > 0.05\"\n```\n\n### 6. Optimization\n\n**Improve the workflow over time**\n\n```bash\n# Analyze performance\nintegratewise workflow analyze lead_qualification\n\n# View suggestions\nintegratewise workflow suggest lead_qualification\n\n# Optimize automatically\nintegratewise workflow optimize lead_qualification --auto\n```\n\n## Workflow Patterns\n\n### 1. Linear Workflow\n\n**Sequential steps, one after another**\n\n```\nStep 1 → Step 2 → Step 3 → Step 4 → Result\n```\n\n**Use Case:** Simple, predictable processes\n**Example:** Document approval workflow\n\n### 2. Conditional Workflow\n\n**Branching based on conditions**\n\n```\nStep 1\n   │\n   ├── Condition A → Step 2a → Step 3a\n   └── Condition B → Step 2b → Step 3b\n```\n\n**Use Case:** Different paths based on data\n**Example:** Lead routing based on score\n\n### 3. Parallel Workflow\n\n**Multiple steps executed simultaneously**\n\n```\nStep 1\n   │\n   ├── Step 2a\n   ├── Step 2b\n   └── Step 2c\n   │\n   └── Step 3 (aggregate results)\n```\n\n**Use Case:** Independent tasks that can run in parallel\n**Example:** Customer 360 assembly (gather data from multiple sources)\n\n### 4. Loop Workflow\n\n**Repeat steps for multiple items**\n\n```\nStep 1 (initialize)\n   │\n   ▼\nStep 2 (process item)\n   │\n   ├── More items? → Loop back to Step 2\n   └── No more items → Step 3\n```\n\n**Use Case:** Batch processing\n**Example:** Process all leads in a list\n\n### 5. Nested Workflow\n\n**Workflows calling other workflows**\n\n```\nMain Workflow\n   │\n   └── Step 1: Call Sub-Workflow A\n           │\n           └── Sub-Workflow A (complete workflow)\n   │\n   └── Step 2: Call Sub-Workflow B\n           │\n           └── Sub-Workflow B (complete workflow)\n```\n\n**Use Case:** Modular, reusable workflows\n**Example:** Customer onboarding (calls identity verification, provisioning, notification workflows)\n\n### 6. Event-Driven Workflow\n\n**Workflow triggered by and responding to events**\n\n```\nEvent 1 → Step 1 → Step 2 → Wait for Event 2 → Step 3 → Step 4\n```\n\n**Use Case:** Reactive, real-time processes\n**Example:** Incident response (triggered by alert, waits for resolution)\n\n## Best Practices\n\n### Workflow Design\n\n1. **Start Simple**\n   - Begin with linear workflows\n   - Add complexity gradually\n   - Test at each stage\n\n2. **Modularize**\n   - Break complex workflows into sub-workflows\n   - Reuse common patterns\n   - Keep workflows focused on single responsibilities\n\n3. **Handle Errors**\n   - Define error handling for each step\n   - Use retries for transient failures\n   - Provide fallbacks when possible\n   - Notify on critical failures\n\n4. **Maintain Context**\n   - Pass context between all steps\n   - Store intermediate results\n   - Make context available for debugging\n\n5. **Optimize Performance**\n   - Use parallel steps where possible\n   - Cache expensive operations\n   - Minimize external API calls\n   - Batch similar operations\n\n### Workflow Management\n\n1. **Version Control**\n   - Version all workflows\n   - Maintain changelog\n   - Test before deploying new versions\n   - Support rollback capability\n\n2. **Monitoring**\n   - Track all executions\n   - Monitor performance metrics\n   - Set up alerts for issues\n   - Review logs regularly\n\n3. **Documentation**\n   - Document purpose and usage\n   - Define inputs and outputs\n   - Document governance and permissions\n   - Provide examples\n\n4. **Security**\n   - Follow principle of least privilege\n   - Require approvals for sensitive actions\n   - Audit all workflow activities\n   - Encrypt sensitive data\n\n5. **Iteration**\n   - Review usage patterns\n   - Gather user feedback\n   - Continuously improve\n   - Deprecate unused workflows\n\n## Monitoring & Analytics\n\n### Workflow Metrics\n\n| Metric | Description | Target |\n|--------|-------------|--------|\n| **Executions** | Total workflow executions | Track growth |\n| **Success Rate** | % of successful executions | >95% |\n| **Error Rate** | % of failed executions | <5% |\n| **Execution Time** | Average time to complete | Minimize |\n| **Steps Executed** | Total steps across all executions | Track usage |\n| **Parallel Steps** | % of steps executed in parallel | Maximize |\n| **Context Usage** | % of executions using stored context | >80% |\n\n### Workflow Dashboard\n\nThe Workflow Dashboard provides:\n- Real-time execution view\n- Success/error rates\n- Performance metrics\n- Execution history\n- Resource usage\n- Alert status\n\n### Alerts\n\nConfigure alerts for:\n- High error rates\n- Slow execution times\n- Permission violations\n- Resource limitations\n- Unusual patterns\n\n## Security & Governance\n\n### Permission Model\n\nWorkflows operate within a hierarchical permission model:\n\n```\nWorkflow Level → Step Level → Tool/Agent Level\n     ↓              ↓             ↓\n  Workflow        Step         Specific\n  Permissions     Permissions  Permissions\n```\n\n### Approval Workflows\n\nFor sensitive operations, workflows can require:\n- **Auto-Approve** - Low-risk operations\n- **Notify-Only** - Execute and notify\n- **HITL Required** - Human approval needed\n- **Multi-Level Approval** - Multiple approvals required\n\n### Audit Trails\n\nAll workflow executions are logged with:\n- Execution ID and timestamp\n- Workflow name and version\n- Inputs and outputs\n- Step-by-step execution log\n- Data accessed and modified\n- User approvals (if applicable)\n- Errors and exceptions\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Common Issues\n\n| Issue | Cause | Solution |\n|-------|-------|----------|\n| Workflow not starting | Trigger misconfiguration | Check trigger definition and source |\n| Step failing | Permission issue | Review step permissions and access |\n| Slow execution | Serial steps, external APIs | Add parallelism, cache results |\n| Context missing | Not passed between steps | Verify context passing in workflow |\n| Hanging | Waiting for input or approval | Check for pending approvals |\n\n### Debug Mode\n\nEnable debug mode for workflow troubleshooting:\n\n```bash\n# Enable debug for workflow\nintegratewise workflow debug lead_qualification --level verbose\n\n# View execution details\nintegratewise workflow execution show execution_123 --debug\n\n# Test with full logging\nintegratewise workflow test lead_qualification --debug --input '{\"lead_id\": \"test\"}'\n```\n\n## Roadmap\n\n### Short-term (0-3 months)\n- Enhanced workflow editor (visual + code)\n- More workflow templates and examples\n- Improved error handling and recovery\n- Better parallel execution\n\n### Medium-term (3-6 months)\n- AI-powered workflow suggestions\n- Predictive workflow optimization\n- Advanced conditional logic\n- Cross-workflow coordination\n\n### Long-term (6-12 months)\n- Autonomous workflow adaptation\n- Self-optimizing workflows\n- Natural language workflow definition\n- Advanced workflow analytics\n\n## Support\n\n### Documentation\n- [Spine Agent Network](./spine-agent-network) -
