Pre-built workflow
A workflow template designed for a common use case that can be deployed with minimal customisation. PURIST maintains a library of 60+ pre-built workflows CRM sync, invoice generation, onboarding sequences reducing deployment time by 70%.
Expert insight
A pre-built workflow template solves the general case, not your specific business rules, importing one and running it unmodified against production data is how "the automation sent the wrong pricing to a client" incidents happen. Treat a template as a structural starting point requiring configuration, not a finished, ready-to-run deliverable.
In a real workflow
A pre-built "new Shopify order to Slack and Sheets" workflow is installed and adapted in an hour.
Common mistakes
