Workflows

Workflows are a way to make your work repeatable. They turn processes that you or your organization do over and over into structured, step-by-step templates that can be filled out and reused.

Creating a Workflow​

Click the Workflows button in your sidebar, then click New. You have two ways to create a workflow:

From a prompt​

Describe the process you want to capture in plain language. Clove will generate a structured set of steps based on your description. Review the steps and adjust them as needed — Clove takes its best guess, but you are always in control. You can edit, add, remove, or reorder steps to match your actual process.

From scratch​

Start with a blank workflow and build it yourself without any AI generation. This is useful if you already know exactly what steps you need and want full manual control from the start.

If you open a blank workflow and leave without making any changes, it is automatically discarded — nothing is saved.

Workflow Steps​

Each workflow is made up of steps. A step can include:

  • Step content — What needs to happen at this stage.
  • User input requirements — Whether someone needs to provide information at this step.
  • Clarifying questions — Questions that help gather the right details.
  • Context and attachments — Supporting documents or information attached to the step.

Editing and Refining​

After a workflow is created, you can refine it at any time:

  • Edit individual steps and their content.
  • Update answers to clarifying questions.
  • Add or remove context items for specific steps.
  • Send additional instructions to Clove to refine the workflow further.

Every time you refine a workflow, Clove creates a new version. You can return to previous versions if needed.

Running a Workflow (Step-Through Mode)​

When you run a workflow, Clove enters step-through mode — working through each step one at a time rather than all at once. After each step you can:

  • Continue to move on to the next step.
  • Redo the step and send feedback to Clove if the output needs adjustment.
  • Cancel to exit step-through mode at any point.

This gives you consistent, reviewable execution — every step is visible and correctable before moving forward.

Managing Workflows​

From the Workflows page you can:

  • Browse all your created workflows.
  • Search for workflows by name.
  • Edit an existing workflow to refine its steps.
