Muqira Flow Quick Start Guide
Start from a template or build your own workflow: pick a trigger, add steps with real per-step forms, connect an integration, and turn it on.
Start from a template, or build from scratch
~2 minFrom Dashboard → Workflows, pick a project (if you have more than one) and click a template card — each one is a complete, working workflow you can use as-is or edit. "+ Add step" on any workflow's Pipeline tab lets you build from an empty workflow too, one step at a time, up to 20 steps.
- The Sheet → LinkedIn Pipeline template runs a Google Sheet as a content queue — a good one to open first even if you don't plan to use it, just to see a full real workflow end to end
- Templates that publish to external accounts (LinkedIn, X, Slack) auto-schedule themselves on creation — check the Trigger tab if you don't want that
Choose your trigger
~3 minEvery workflow has one Trigger control with three tabs: Manual (only runs when you click Run), Schedule (a recurring cron expression, e.g. every 15 minutes), or Webhook (a unique URL any external system can call to start a run). The tab with a green dot shows which one is currently active.
- Switching to Schedule shows a plain 5-field cron box, not a calendar picker — "*/15 * * * *" means every 15 minutes
- Webhook URLs are shown in full only once, right when you generate or rotate them — copy it immediately, since reloading the page won't show it again
Add and configure steps
~5 minEach step type gets its own real form, not a JSON box — an AI step shows prompt and model fields, an integration step shows a connector dropdown then an action dropdown then that action's own labeled fields, a branching step shows condition/value/jump-target fields. Every step's output becomes available to later steps via {{ctx.step_key.field}}.
- Use ↑ / ↓ on any step to reorder it, or ✕ to delete it — deleting warns you if another step jumps to it by key
- A branching step can jump backward to an earlier step, not just forward — that's what lets a workflow poll ("wait, check again, wait, check again") without a dedicated loop feature
Connect an integration
~5 minClick Connectors in the sidebar (it's its own top-level item, not nested under Settings) and connect whichever provider a step needs. Once connected, that credential is available to every workflow in the org — you don't reconnect per workflow. If a step's connector isn't connected yet, the step editor shows a clear warning right there, not just a failure when the workflow runs.
- Connectors keep growing — Google Sheets alone covers read, get, find, update, append, clear, delete, and format, enough to run a spreadsheet as a real workflow queue
- Credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed in workflow run output
Test, then activate
~3 minUse "Run Workflow" to execute it once and inspect every step's output in the Output tab before trusting a schedule or webhook to fire it unattended. Once you're confident, leave the Trigger tab set to Schedule or Webhook — there's no separate "activate" switch, the trigger being set is what makes it live.
- A run paused on a human_approval step shows Approve/Reject buttons right there in the Run tab — no need to dig through history to find a pending approval
- Check the History tab after your first live run — every execution is listed with its full step-by-step output for debugging
FAQ
Common questions.
What triggers does Muqira Flow support?
Manual (click to run), Schedule (recurring cron expression), and Webhook (a unique URL, generated on demand, that any external system can call to start a run).
Does a failed workflow step stop the whole run?
By default, yes — a failed step halts the run and is logged with the error. Integration steps (the ones that call a connector) can be set to "Continue — record the failure" instead, so a downstream step can react to the failure rather than the run dying outright.
Can I use AI inside a workflow?
Yes — an AI step can generate or transform content anywhere in the flow, and its output is available to every later step. A project can also set a shared "brand voice" once (Workflows page → the panel above your project's workflow list) that every AI step in that project picks up automatically.
How does approval work for a workflow that needs a human to check something first?
Two ways: a human_approval step pauses the run until someone clicks Approve/Reject in the dashboard (or via Telegram, if that connector's approval buttons are set up — see the Connectors & Approvals guide), or a workflow can poll a value it controls itself, like a status cell in a spreadsheet, and proceed once that value changes.
Is there a limit on how many workflows I can build, or how many steps in one?
The number of active workflows and monthly run volume depend on your plan. A single workflow is capped at 20 steps.
