A workflow is a chain of steps that Mist runs for you. Each step runs a skill or a written instruction in its own chat. After each step, a separate reviewer checks the result against the step’s acceptance criteria, and sends the step back for rework if it falls short. Use workflows for big jobs with many parts, such as opening a country or launching a new store.

​
Workflows you can run

Fluid publishes workflows in the public Mist Skills repository, and Mist downloads them each time it starts. They include:
  • Open a Country, plus a finalizing workflow for each way of operating in a country.
  • Speed Import
  • Streamlined Onboard & Launch
For the full list, see Mist Skills. Workflows you build yourself are saved in the Fluid/workflows folder in your home folder. A workflow you save there with the same name as a Fluid workflow replaces Fluid’s version on your computer.

​
Run a workflow

1

Open the library

In the sidebar, click Workflows. Type in Search workflows to filter the list.
2

Open the workflow

Click the workflow to read its steps.
3

Run it

Click Run.
You can also start a workflow from the chat. Type /, then pick a row marked Workflow. The run starts as soon as you pick it. Some workflows start from a skill that asks you questions first. For example, the Open a Country skill asks which country and how you’ll operate there, then starts the Open a Country workflow with your answers.
Workflows make real changes to your company, and each step uses AI, which your company pays for. While Safe Mode is on, Mist can’t start a workflow from the chat, and any step that would change production is blocked.

​
Follow a run

Your runs are listed under Workflows in the sidebar. Open a run to see each step and its status: When a run ends, it shows Succeeded, Succeeded with issues, Failed after partial completion, Cancelled or Interrupted. While a run is going, use Pause run, Resume run and Cancel run. When it’s done, use Run again. The More run actions menu has Copy diagnostic summary, Copy review and Agent troubleshoot, which help you or Fluid support find out what went wrong.

​
Build a workflow

1

Start a new workflow

In the Workflows library, click New workflow. Enter a name in Name your workflow.
2

Add steps

Click Add step. For each step, choose Describe it and write what the step should do, or Use a skill and pick one under Choose a skill….
3

Say what done looks like

Write the step’s acceptance criteria, one per line. The reviewer checks the step against them.
4

Set the review

Choose how strictly to review the step: Strictly, Normally or Loosely. Under If it still fails, choose Keep going and flag it for review or Stop the workflow here.
5

Choose where the step runs

Under Runs in, choose The project it was started from, or a type of project, such as a theme.
6

Save it

Click Save.
Steps run from top to bottom, and each waits for the one above it. To run a step at the same time as the step above, turn on Runs alongside the step above. Use Import and Export to share a workflow as a file. You can also ask Mist in the chat to build a workflow for you.

​
