# Workflows

> Automate your operations by reacting to events and running steps automatically.

Workflows is a no-code automation engine built into Yorlet. You choose what starts a workflow, then add the steps Yorlet should run — create a task, attach a note, send a letter, raise a maintenance issue, and more — without leaving the Dashboard.

You can view and manage every workflow from the [Workflows page](https://dashboard.yorlet.com/workflows).

<Note>
  Workflows is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. You are charged for each action step that succeeds. See [list pricing](https://www.yorlet.com/pricing#workflows).
</Note>

## Enable Workflows

Workflows is a pay-as-you-go add-on. To enable it, follow these steps:

1. Go to [Your plans](https://dashboard.yorlet.com/settings/plans).
2. Find **Workflows** and click **Get started**.
3. Complete checkout.

Once enabled, you can create workflows from the [Workflows page](https://dashboard.yorlet.com/workflows).

## How a workflow works

Every workflow has three parts:

* **Trigger** — what starts the workflow. For example, a tenancy being activated, an invoice becoming past due, or a request from your own systems.
* **Steps** — what happens next. Steps can be actions (create a task, send a letter), **If / else** branches, or **For each** loops.
* **Runs** — each time the trigger fires, Yorlet records a run so you can see what happened.

Only **Active** workflows run. A workflow can be:

* **Draft** — saved but not live. Use this while you are still building.
* **Active** — published and running whenever the trigger fires.
* **Inactive** — kept in your list, but it will not run until you click **Activate**.
