Create The First Workflow

If you see the toolkit section of the workflow designer window, you could see four options

Start -to start the workflow
Run Task – to add an existing task in the flow.
IF – If any conditional workflow needs to be implemented
End – to end the workflow.

In this article, we will create a simple workflow i.e. start – run task – end. For that we can drag and drop ‘Start’, ‘Run Task’ and ‘End’ on the white part of the screen.

First, drag and drop ‘Start’ and it will appear like this.
