The request board is where you ask for a workflow you can’t find — and watch it get built. Describe what you want, other people vote it up, a maintainer picks it up, and when it ships you get a notification that links straight to the ready-to-use workflow.
Finding the board
Section titled “Finding the board”Two ways in:
- Sidebar → Request Board (under Published Workflows).
- The “What the community wants built” banner near the top of the Marketplace, which teases the most-wanted requests and links through.
You can also reach it when a Marketplace search finds nothing — a “see what others have requested →” link appears with the empty result.
Requesting a workflow
Section titled “Requesting a workflow”- Click Request a workflow (on the board, or from the gallery’s “Can’t find it?” tile).
- Give it a Title (e.g. “Auto-summarize my inbox every morning”) and a Description of what it should do and why.
- Optionally pick a Category to help others find it.
- Submit request.
“Someone already asked for this”
Section titled ““Someone already asked for this””As you type a title, the board looks for similar requests and shows them:
2 similar requests — join instead of duplicating?
If one matches what you want, click Join +1 to add your vote instead of creating a duplicate — you’ll still be notified when it ships. This keeps demand visible in one place rather than scattered across near-identical entries. If none fit, just finish your new request.
Reading the board
Section titled “Reading the board”Requests move through three lanes:
| Lane | What it means |
|---|---|
| 🔥 Most wanted | Open requests, sorted by votes. Click Join +1 to add yours. |
| Building now | Someone’s on it. When it’s close, an In review badge and an “Est. ship in …” countdown appear. |
| Shipped | Done. Each card links to Open the workflow → and shows when it shipped. |
A heartbeat bar at the top shows the board’s momentum — requests and votes this week, what shipped this month, and how many are in review.
Getting notified when it ships
Section titled “Getting notified when it ships”When a request you made or voted on ships, you get:
- an in-app notification — the bell in the top bar shows an unread count; open it to see “Your requested workflow shipped” and jump straight to the workflow;
- an email (if you’re signed in with email notifications), with a link that opens the ready workflow in a couple of clicks.
Every requester and every voter on a request is notified — so joining a request with Join +1 is also how you subscribe to its “it shipped” ping.
For maintainers
Section titled “For maintainers”Workspace moderators manage requests (status, estimated ship date, marking a request fulfilled and linking the published workflow) and merge duplicate requests from the admin request screen.
