  5. Configure Workflow Trigger. Choose how the workflow should be triggered:

    1. Studio Action: Triggered from Studio scripts.

    2. API Call: Used to invoke external or internal APIs.

    3. Triggered by Another Workflow: Establishes dependencies between workflows.

  6. Add a General Task. This represents manual or user-driven actions. Enter a Task Name and Description to identify the task’s purpose.

  7. Add a Decision Task. This splits the workflow into branches based on conditions and is useful for creating conditional logic or alternate paths.

  8. Add a Trigger Workflow Task. Use this task to initiate another workflow from within the current one.

  9. Add Connectors to the Workflow. You can add existing connectors directly into the workflow:

    1. Use the search bar at the top of the task panel to locate connectors by name.

    2. Apply filters to narrow down results. Below the search bar, the following filter buttons are available:

      • All – Displays all available connectors and tasks.

      • Core – Shows built-in system connectors.

      • External – Lists connectors linked to external applications.

      • NiCE – Displays NiCE-specific connectors (if applicable)

      • Custom API – Shows connectors created using custom API configurations.

  10. Create a New Connector (if needed). Click New Connector from the task panel. Choose from:

    1. External App

    2. Custom API

    For more details refer to the section, Creating a New Connector.

  11. Add an End Task to mark the completion of the workflow. Ensure all branches lead to an end task.

  12. Click Save to store the workflow as a draft.
