Workflows is the Library pillar for work that employees finish in Operations My Work. It covers how integrations, ProcessFlows, and WebApps publish governed requests, and how tenant admins and Trace keep those requests honest (Approve only when a real gate exists).
Who this is for
| Audience | Start here |
|---|---|
| Employees using My Work | Operational requests and My Work |
| Tenant admins wiring systems | Publishing work for tenant admins |
| Trace / AI process authors | Trace: craft Operations-aligned work |
| Copyable end-to-end pattern | Template: customer onboarding |
Core idea
Automatic and AI-assisted ProcessFlow steps should rarely become tasks. Human decisions and recovery create work kinds in My Work:
- Approval — yes/no with a pending human-input id
- Action required — person does work outside Tealfabric; process updates state later
- Exception — automation blocked; clear guidance and optional Retry
Storage stays the DataPool schema operational_requests. Prefer sandbox helpers tf.operations.* over hand-written JSON.
