Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Automation: Execute predefined sequences of actions using a typed, JSON-first pipeline.
  • Approval Gates: Pause workflows at critical junctures, presenting specific prompts for user approval before proceeding.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue interrupted workflows using a secure token, ensuring no progress is lost.
  • Use Case: Automate the triaging of incoming emails. Fetch new emails, classify them into categories like 'Needs Reply' or 'FYI', and then present a summary for approval before sending any draft replies.

How do I add human approval checkpoints to an automated workflow pipeline?

You can add human approval checkpoints to an automated workflow pipeline by pausing execution at critical junctures and presenting specific prompts for user review before proceeding.

What are typed JSON workflows and when do I need them for automation?

Typed JSON workflows are predefined sequences of actions using a JSON-first pipeline. You need them for repeatable automations to ensure deterministic operations and reduce manual errors in multi-step processes.

How do I automate email triage with a resumable workflow?

Automate email triage by running a pipeline that fetches emails, classifies them into categories like 'Needs Reply', and presents a summary for approval before sending draft replies.

Do I need to install any dependencies to run typed workflow pipelines?

Yes, running typed workflow pipelines requires the 'lobster' executable to be available in your system's PATH to execute the JSON pipelines and manage approval gates.

Can I use workflow automation scripts for data synchronization and monitoring?

Yes, workflow automation scripts support data synchronization and monitoring by executing deterministic, multi-step pipelines that can pause for human oversight and resume securely.
