Smart Workflows
Create powerful automated workflows that process documents exactly how you need them. Use our visual workflow builder to design complex document processing pipelines without writing a single line of code.
Introduction to Workflows
Learn the basics of creating workflows in Dropie
What are Workflows?
Workflows in Dropie are automated sequences of actions that process your documents from input to output. They can include document analysis, data extraction, validation, routing, approvals, and integration with other systems.
Visual Builder
Drag and drop interface to create workflows without coding
Conditional Logic
Route documents based on content, metadata, or custom rules
Real-time Processing
Process documents instantly as they arrive
Scheduled Workflows
Run workflows on a schedule for batch processing
Workflow Components
1. Triggers
Every workflow starts with a trigger that initiates the process:
Document Upload
Triggered when documents are uploaded
Email Receipt
Triggered by incoming emails
Schedule
Run at specific times or intervals
API Call
Triggered via REST API
2. Actions
Actions are the steps that process your documents:
- Extract Data: Use AI to extract information from documents
- Transform: Convert, merge, split, or modify documents
- Validate: Check data accuracy and completeness
- Approve: Route for human review and approval
- Integrate: Send data to other systems or databases
3. Conditions
Add logic to your workflows with conditional branching:
Example: Invoice Processing
IF invoice amount > $10,000
→ Route to senior approval
ELSE IF vendor is new
→ Require additional verification
ELSE
→ Auto-approve and process payment

Add Workflow Steps
Drag and drop actions from the component library to build your workflow. Connect them in the order you want them to execute.
Configure Each Step
Click on each step to configure its settings, such as which fields to extract, validation rules, or approval requirements.
Test Your Workflow
Use sample documents to test your workflow and ensure it's working correctly. Make adjustments as needed.
Deploy & Monitor
Activate your workflow and monitor its performance. View analytics and make optimizations over time.
Advanced Features
Parallel Processing
Split workflows to process multiple actions simultaneously, then merge results.
EnterpriseCustom Scripts
Add custom JavaScript or Python scripts for complex transformations.
Pro & EnterpriseExternal Data Sources
Enrich documents with data from external APIs or databases during processing.
