- Template — a ready-made workflow you can tweak. See Templates and schedules.
Build it step by step
Create the workflow
Open Workflows and click New workflow. Pick a blank canvas or a template. Give it a name you will remember.
Spot the Start and End steps
Every workflow runs from a Start step to an End step. Start is where your workflow begins and holds its input fields. End is where it finishes and shows its output.
Add steps between them and connect them
Drag a step from the side panel onto the canvas. Place it between Start and End. Draw a line from one step to the next so they run in order.
Configure each step
Click a step to open its settings. Fill in what it needs, like a prompt to ask or a website to read. You can feed one step’s output into the next step.
Test-run it
Run a single step or the whole workflow to check it works. Fix anything that looks wrong before you go live.
Make it branch with Conditional
Sometimes you want a workflow to do one thing in one case and something else in another. The Conditional step handles that. A Conditional step is an if-this-then-that fork. You set a rule, like “if the visibility score went down.” The workflow then splits into two paths: one for when the rule is true, and one for when it is false. Visibility score means the share of AI answers that mention your brand. See the glossary for the short version.Useful steps to know
There are many steps to pick from. Here are the ones you will reach for most, grouped by what they do.ZeroRank data steps — pull your own numbers into a run
