A workflow is a recipe of steps that runs on its own. You line up the steps in order, hit run, and ZeroRank does each one for you. No code needed. Each step does one small job. The output of one step feeds into the next. String enough of them together and a whole task happens by itself.
Think of steps as Lego blocks. Each block is small, but you snap them together to build something bigger. Mix and match the blocks to make the workflow you want.

​
What you can build

You decide what the steps do. Here is one example, all in a single run:
  1. Research a topic on the web.
  2. Draft an article from what it found.
  3. Score the article for AEO (Answer Engine Optimization — making your content easy for AI to find and quote). See AEO score.
  4. Post the article to your WordPress site.
  5. Ping your team in Slack to say it is done.
That is five steps doing the work you would normally do by hand. You can swap any step, add more, or split the path two ways with a branch.

​
The visual builder

You build workflows on a canvas, not in a text file. Each step is a box (a node) that you drag in and connect with a line. The order of the lines is the order things run. You can also save a workflow as a template to reuse it. You can set a schedule so it runs on a timer. You can keep versions of your changes. And you can look back at the run history to see every past run.
