Workflows Overview

Workflows Overview

Workflows allow you to automate clinical and administrative tasks in Jump. A workflow is a sequence of steps -- a trigger that starts it, followed by one or more actions that are executed automatically.

Workflows are built using a visual flow builder where you connect trigger, action, and control nodes on a canvas.

What You Can Automate

Common examples include:

  • Sending a follow-up email to a patient after an appointment is completed
  • Creating a task for a team member when a questionnaire is submitted
  • Sending an SMS reminder when a recall is due
  • Adding a clinical alert when a lab result arrives
  • Updating a recall enrolment when an appointment is booked

Trigger Types

Every workflow starts with a trigger -- the event that kicks it off:

Trigger Type How It Works
Manual Started by a team member from a patient, appointment, task, or recall
Event Fires automatically when a clinical event occurs (e.g. appointment booked, lab result received)
Schedule Runs on a recurring schedule
Webhook Triggered by an external system via HTTP

Workflow States

A workflow can be in one of two states:

  • Draft -- the workflow is being built or edited and will not run
  • Enabled -- the workflow is live and will execute when its trigger fires

The Workflows Page

The Workflows page lists all workflows in your organisation with tabs for:

  • All -- every workflow
  • Enabled -- workflows that are currently active
  • Draft -- workflows that are still being built

Each workflow card shows its name, description, trigger type, and whether it is enabled.

Tip: Start with a simple workflow -- such as sending a confirmation email after an appointment is booked -- to get familiar with the builder before creating more complex automations.
