  3. Navigate to Workflow Builder and select “Import”
  4. Once imported, edit the workflow to make sense for your team
  5. Publish and let everyone know about your masterpiece

See it in action:

  2. Creating and publishing the workflow takes only a few minutes. Import the downloadable template, then assign the channel which will be used to trigger the onboarding form for a new member. 
  3. Customize the welcome form to collect relevant birthday information. Then select the step from BirthdayBot, and send the data collected in your form to BirthdayBot.
  4. Publish and let your teammates know about your new workflow!
