Hi,
I have developed a workflow. I now want to build an app, which will take an input from user, call this workflow, output a response, which then i can parse and show on the UI.
Can someone guide me steps to build this application and the workflow. I specifically want the workflow to be called as a webhook from the UI

Hey @Pranjal_Vatsa, welcome to the forum!
So the steps for this are:
- Import a Workflow into your app
- Define in that Workflow import the data you want to send to the workflow
- Define what triggers the workflow
- Within the workflow, add a response block with the data how you want to return it to your UI.
Below screenshots for each step:
1 Importing a workflow
- Define data to be sent to workflow (I'm getting a buggy interface for some reason...) MAke sure you select "Finished" in your "Run until" option
-
Define what triggers the workflow: this can be a button or a script, treat teh workflow as you would treat any other query.
-
Add a response block to your workflow:
When the workflow finishes, you will find this data in workflow1.data (or whatever name you gave your workflow query in the app.
Hope this helps!

Hi @Pranjal_Vatsa — great explanation from @MiguelOrtiz!
I was just about to share something similar. Here's a quick demo app that uses a workflow to calculate dog years and return a custom message. Hope it helps!

dogYearsCalculatorWorkflow.json (14.2 KB)
