Mark a Workflow Step as the Entry Point

Workflows that demand users' immediate attention as they arrive on an application page can be played using Launchers and Announcements. To do this, you can designate one of the Workflow steps as the entry point, connect it to the Frame of the application page where the Launcher or Announcement will be created, and play the Workflow from the chosen step on the same page.

To learn how to mark a step as the entry point while creating or editing a step in a Workflow,

1.   Log in to the Apty Studio after loading it on your web browser.

2.  Select your desired application from the list provided to open it in your browser.

3.  Once the application opens, select Workflows on your Apty Studio.

Note:

Ensure that your application is connected with the Apty Studio to seamlessly create Apty content. A connected application is indicated by a green icon. If the icon appears red, refresh your Apty Studio to reconnect with your application.
