What are workflows?
A workflow is a reusable task template with instructions and inputs. It can give a weekly report the same structure each time or guide an account audit. The assistant loads the template and follows its steps using the tools available to it.
Loading a workflow does not prove that those steps ran. It also does not schedule a background job. Check the resulting tool calls and report before treating a task as complete.
Find and activate a workflow
Open Library → Workflows. Choose AdSuperpowers, Personal or Organization, then filter by platform or category and inspect a workflow's instructions and inputs.
Your assistant lists every workflow you can run: the standard library your plan includes, your own published workflows and those of the active workspace. Activating a workflow pins it to the top of that list, and hiding one removes it. Publication status, plan and active workspace can affect visibility. If you cannot find an organization workflow, check that you selected the workspace that owns it.
For a task you want to read before activating anything, start with the public cookbook.
Run the workflow
List my available workflows and find one for [task].
Show its required inputs. Use [client], [account IDs] and [date range].
Run the analysis, report any steps you could not complete,
and do not change campaigns.
The assistant uses workflow(action="list") to discover names, workflow(action="info") to inspect inputs and workflow(action="run") to load the chosen template with its parameters. The run response supplies instructions and next steps for the assistant; it does not by itself execute every platform request.
Give explicit account IDs and dates. Confirm the workspace and client context and review missing data, failed steps and the final output. If a workflow proposes writes, check permissions and approve the intended changes before the assistant acts.
Create your own workflow
With an eligible paid plan, open the Personal section of Library → Workflows and choose Create Workflow. Add its name, description, category, platforms, template and input definitions.
For a weekly report, a short template might be:
Prepare a report for {{ client_name }} covering {{ date_range }}.
Use account {{ account_id }} and compare with the previous equal-length period.
Report spend, clicks and the agreed conversion metric.
Separate measured findings from recommendations and missing data.
Do not change campaigns.
Define each input in the editor, save the workflow and inspect the saved publication and activation state. Test it with one account before reusing it across clients. Organization workflows belong to the active workspace and require the appropriate owner/admin authority and write permission to manage.
Variables
Variables make the task reusable without replacing its whole text. Use the input names defined by the workflow and provide the required values when running it.
| Template syntax | Purpose |
|---|---|
{{ client_name }} | Insert a supplied value |
{{ metric | default('conversions') }} | Use a default when the variable is absent |
{% if include_comparison %}...{% endif %} | Include a conditional section |
{% for account in accounts %}...{% endfor %} | Repeat a section for a list |
The editor's preview helps check the rendered instructions. A successful preview checks the template, not permission to read the selected account or execute a platform change.
Tasks that work well as workflows
- Weekly client report: known accounts, a consistent period and the same output sections.
- Campaign audit: a checklist, evidence for each finding and a prioritized follow-up list.
- Competitor analysis: explicitly name the available sources and separate observed facts from estimates.
- Client onboarding check: confirm workspace, linked accounts, measurement definitions and missing inputs.
Use a skill when you need a reusable analysis method within these tasks.
Limits, ownership and usage
The dashboard shows your current workflow and activation allowances. Creating custom workflows requires an eligible paid plan. Published organization content is available within its workspace; personal content belongs to its creator. Archiving changes availability and can leave stored content counting toward creation limits.
Every tool invocation counts toward tool-call usage, including workflow calls and any platform tools the assistant subsequently calls. A workflow with several platform steps is not one all-inclusive call. Check pricing and your workspace's usage page for current limits.
