Recipes are pre-built templates based on the most common integration needs and can significantly reduce the effort required to build a Workflow or a Flow service. You can preview and use Workflow and Flow service recipes for your project by using the Recipes feature.
To begin with Recipes, follow the instructions given below:
The Recipes page appears.
From here, you can view and readily use several pre-configured workflow and Flow service recipes in any desired project.
The Recipes section contains several pre-configured workflows that you can readily use. A workflow recipe consists of a trigger and/or a set of actions that are configured with a business logic.
To start using workflow recipes, click on the ‘Workflow’ tab that appears on the Recipes page.
You will see a list of pre-created workflows that are added by the Integration administrator.
By default, recipes for all connectors/external web services are displayed. However, Integration allows you to search recipes by the name of a connector. On the left panel of the Recipes page, you will see a list of connector icons that are available in Integration. By default, the connector icons are placed alphabetically. However, you can also search for a connector-specific recipe by entering the connector name in the search box located above the connector icons.
Let’s say you want to search all recipes that are specific to the application - Trello. Simply select the connector icon from the left panel of the screen or type in ‘Trello’ in the search box and click on the Search icon. You will now see a list of workflows that are Trello-specific.
In addition, Integration allows you to search recipes by the name or description of a recipe. To do so, enter the name or description of a recipe in the search box that is located on the top-right corner of the Recipes page.
Let’s say you want to search all recipes associated with the connector - Asana. Type in ‘Asana’ in the search box and click on the Search icon. You will now see a list of workflows that are Asana-specific.
For a more refined search, you can also enter the description of a recipe.
Integration provides you two layout options to view workflow recipes, namely Card view and List view. The default view is the Card View, which allows you to see the recipes as blocks.
However, you can switch to List view by clicking on the List icon located on the top-right corner of the Recipes page.
You will now see all the information related to workflow recipes, including connectors used in a recipe, description of the recipe, and actions (Preview and Use Recipe) to be performed, in a spreadsheet-like display.
To change back to the Card view, simply click on the Card icon situated beside the List icon on the top-right corner of the Recipes page.
You will now see all the recipe information inside cards.
You can readily use pre-built workflows from the Recipes page. In addition, it also allows you to import your own workflow-specific schema onto the Recipes section. To do so, click on the Filter icon situated beside the search box on the top-right corner of the Recipes page.
On clicking the Filter icon, you will see two options, namely All Recipes and My Recipes.
By default, the All Recipes option is selected. This option allows you to browse, view, and use pre-built recipes that are created by Integration administrator. Read Previewing recipes and Using Recipes under Understanding workflow recipes section to know more.
The All Recipes option also allows you to upload workflow-specific schema onto the Recipes section. Once uploaded, these schemas are automatically converted to workflows which you can import to your projects. To do so, click Import.
You will be prompted to upload the schema file for the workflow you want to import.
Select the workflow schema you want to upload and click Open. You will be redirected back to the All Recipes screen, where you can see the workflow card for the schema you just uploaded.
Note that this workflow is added to both All Recipes and My Recipes section. Now that this workflow is added, you can use it anytime in your project.
