Let’s dive in!
1. The Workflow Hub: Your Secret Weapon for Bot Building Efficiency 🚀
Think of the Workflow Hub as an app store for chatbot actions. It’s a centralized platform where you can explore and implement pre-built workflows designed to tackle specific tasks or integrations.
What kind of magic are we talking about? 🤔
- User Research Workflows: Effortlessly gather feedback and insights from your users.
- Third-Party Service Integrations: Connect your chatbot to external tools and platforms seamlessly.
- And much more! The possibilities are constantly expanding.
Example: Imagine you’re building a chatbot that needs to pause between messages for a more natural flow. Instead of coding this from scratch, you could simply install a pre-built “Delay” workflow from the Hub. ⏱️
2. Installing Workflows: As Easy as 1, 2, Click! 🖱️
Finding and installing workflows is a breeze:
- Navigate to the Hub: You’ll find it conveniently located in the left-hand menu of your Botpress interface.
- Browse the Library: Explore the diverse selection of workflows, each accompanied by a clear description and instructions.
- Click “Install”: That’s it! The workflow will be added to your available tools, ready to be incorporated into your bot.
Once installed, the workflow will appear as a handy “card” in your Card Tray, ready to be dragged and dropped into your desired bot flow.
3. Customization is Key: Tailoring Workflows to Your Needs 🛠️
Many workflows offer customization options, allowing you to fine-tune their behavior to match your bot’s personality and purpose.
Example: In the “Delay” workflow, you might have the option to set a fixed delay time or empower the chatbot to dynamically determine the optimal pause based on the conversation context.
4. Sharing is Caring: Contribute Your Masterpieces to the Hub 🎁
Have you created a workflow that deserves a standing ovation? Share your brilliance with the Botpress community!

- Navigate to Your Workflow: Open the workflow you want to share in the Explorer panel.
