Templates ​

The Templates page is the starting point of the Designer. Here you manage your workflow templates — the blueprints that define how workflows operate.

Template list

INFO

The Designer is available to Admin users. See Roles & Permissions for details.

What You See ​

Templates are displayed as a list, each showing:

  • Name — the template title
  • Description — what the workflow does
  • Tags — category labels
  • Milestones — number of milestones defined
  • Input fields — number of input fields
  • Author — who created the template
  • Last updated — when it was last modified

Creating a Template ​

New Template ​

Click New Workflow to create a blank template. This immediately opens the Template Editor where you can define the structure, input schema, and settings.

Import from JSON ​

Click Import to upload a JSON file containing a template definition. This is useful for sharing templates between environments or restoring from a backup.

AI Generation ​

Click the AI icon to open the generation dialog. Describe the workflow you want (e.g., "Client onboarding with KYC verification and document collection") and the system will generate a template structure for you. You can then refine it in the editor.

Managing Templates ​

Each template has an action menu with:

ActionDescription
EditOpen the Template Editor
DuplicateCreate a copy of the template
ArchiveHide the template from the default view (it becomes unavailable for launching)
UnarchiveRestore an archived template
Export JSONDownload the template as a JSON file
Export MarkdownDownload the template as documentation
DeletePermanently remove the template

Searching and Sorting ​

Type in the search box to filter templates by name, description, or tags.

Sort ​

Use the sort dropdown to order templates by:

  • Recently Updated — most recently modified first
  • Oldest Updated — least recently modified first
  • Name A–Z — alphabetical order
  • Name Z–A — reverse alphabetical

Archived Templates ​

Archived templates are hidden by default. Toggle Show Archived to include them. Archived templates appear with a dashed border, reduced opacity, and an "Archived" badge.

Template Workflow ​

A typical template lifecycle:

  1. Create a new template (or import / generate with AI)
  2. Define structure — add milestones and steps in the Template Editor
  3. Define input schema — add the input fields users fill when launching
  4. Design flows — configure actions for each step in the Flow Editor
  5. Set permissions — configure who can launch and what roles are assigned
  6. Publish — make the template available for users to launch workflows from
