Ottili Flows

The AI-first workflow automation engine in Ottili ONE — build reliable processes from triggers, conditions, actions, waits, and approval gates.

# Ottili Flows

Ottili Flows is the AI-first workflow automation engine. Instead of wiring up a generic automation tool, you describe a process in plain language and Flows turns it into reliable, observable steps.

Core concepts

  • Trigger: what starts the Flow (a new order, an incoming message, a schedule).
  • Condition: branches based on data (status, amount, customer type).
  • Action: what happens (send email, create record, call an API).
  • Wait: pause until a time or event.
  • Approval: stop and ask a human before a sensitive step.
  • Log: every run is persisted and inspectable.

    • Build your first Flow

    1. Go to Flows → New Flow.

    2. Describe the process, or assemble it from building blocks.

    3. Map the trigger and the data it provides.

    4. Add conditions, actions, waits, and approval gates.

    5. Test with a sample, then activate.

    Example: late-invoice follow-up

    Trigger on invoice overdue → condition amount > threshold → action send reminder email → wait 3 days → condition still unpaid → approval to escalate to a team member.

    Monitoring

    Every execution is logged with inputs, outputs, and which step is waiting on approval. Failed steps are retried or surfaced for review — Flows do not silently drop work.

    Tips

  • Put approval gates before anything external (messaging, payments, publishing).
  • Keep Flows small and composable; chain them instead of building one giant Flow.
  • Use Ottili AI inside a Flow to draft content dynamically.
