Publishing Workflows

Publishing lets you share your workflow in the Marketplace so other people can use it as a template.

After you publish, others can browse it, import it, and adapt it to their own needs.

Why publish a workflow?

Showcase your workflow skills and ideas.
Help others by sharing a ready-made automation.
Encourage reuse of proven solutions rather than reinventing from scratch.
Receive feedback, contributions, or improvements from the community.

Before you publish

Make sure your workflow meets these key conditions:

It’s saved, stable and tested (run it a few times to confirm it works). See Full and Partial Executions Inside the Designer.
Nodes are clearly named and organized.
Sticky Notes or documentation are added to explain the workflow logic. (See Sticky Notes)
Sensitive credentials or data are removed—replace them with placeholders or variables.
If your workflow uses browser nodes, ensure the selectors and paths are generic or documented.
Exported workflow JSON works as a standalone template when imported.

How to publish

Go to your Workflows Library in the extension.
Find the workflow you wish to publish.
Click Publish (or similar UI button).
Fill out publishing details:
- Workflow name
- Description
- Categories/tags
- Thumbnail or preview image
Agree to any sharing terms and click Publish.
Your workflow is now listed in the Marketplace and available for others to import.

After publishing

Your workflow version is visible in the Marketplace.
Maintain versions: if you update the workflow, publish a new version or update existing listing. For it you will use the Release button.
Monitor user feedback or questions on your workflow.
Consider updating documentation or adding more details based on usage.

The “Narrated” badge

When you publish, the review step checks that every step carries a plain-language note (see Notes & story). If some steps don’t have one yet, you’ll see a reminder listing them — you can still publish, but adding notes (try ✨ Draft with AI) makes your flow far easier for others to learn.

A flow where every step has a note earns a ✨ Narrated badge on its Marketplace card and listing — a signal that it teaches on open, not just runs.

Using shared workflows

When you import a published workflow from the Marketplace:

Go to the Marketplace listing and click Use.
After import, review it: set your own credentials, check browser node selectors, and test it manually.

Admin: maintaining templates in the canvas

Workspace admins curate the built-in Marketplace template library from #/admin/templates.

The templates list shows each template’s title, category, price, and an Editing column that indicates when another admin currently has it open — hover it to see who and since when.

New template opens a dialog to set a title, slug, summary, icon, category, price, sort order, and tags, then creates a draft and opens it directly in the canvas.
Clicking a template opens it for editing on the same visual canvas used for regular workflows, plus a metadata panel for the fields above.
Test-running a template while editing doesn’t create an execution history entry — it’s a scratch run, not a real automation execution.

Edit locking

Only one admin can edit a given template at a time. When you open a template for editing, you acquire a lock that’s automatically renewed while you stay on the page and released when you leave or save.

If someone else is already editing, you’ll see a read-only banner naming them and how long they’ve held the lock.
Force unlock takes over the lock immediately — use it only when you’re sure the other admin’s session is stale, since it interrupts them and any of their unsaved changes are lost.
If your own lock is taken over while you’re mid-edit, a banner warns you that your changes since the last save weren’t submitted, with a way to reacquire the lock or go back to the list.
