Create a workflow

You create a workflow by giving Anthara a YAML file. This page shows how to create one, change it, turn it off, and delete it.

Before you begin

• Write the YAML first. Build your first workflow has a small example.
• If the YAML names a connection, that connection must already exist under Connections. See Connections.

Create the workflow

1. Open Agentic Workflows.
2. Select Create Agentic Workflow.
3. Drop a .yml or .yaml file onto the panel. You can also paste the YAML into the editor.
4. Select Create.

The new workflow appears in the list. It is enabled as soon as it is created.

Fix a rejected workflow

If the YAML has a problem, the panel shows Failed to create: followed by the reason. Fix the YAML and select Create again.

Message	What to fix
Missing required field: slug	Add a slug line at the top level.
Workflow slug "..." is already in use	Choose a slug that no other workflow uses.
Unknown trigger type: ...	Use manual, cron, github, or azure_devops.
Step 0: missing required field 'name'	Give every step a name. Steps are counted from 0.
Unrecognized connection(s): ...	Use the exact name of a connection that exists under Connections.

Edit the workflow

1. In the list, open the row menu and select Edit.
2. Change the YAML in the editor.
3. Select Save.

Anthara checks the YAML again when you save. Runs that already started keep the YAML they started with.

Turn the workflow off or on

Use the switch in the Enabled column.

• Off stops the workflow from starting new runs.
• On lets it start runs again.

Delete the workflow

1. In the list, open the row menu and select Delete.
2. Confirm in the Delete Workflow dialog.

A deleted workflow cannot be restored. To delete several workflows, tick their rows and use the delete action above the table.
