They define the workflow lifecycle and control which actions are available at each step. **Purpose** * Define workflow progression and states for each stages * Control field editability and visibility per stage * Trigger stage-specific automations and validations * Enable multi-step approval and review processes * Each stage workf independently to have parallel workflows and automations. **Stage Configuration** | Configuration | Description | Type | | ------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------- | | **Stage Name** | Display name for the stage | String | | **Stage Order** | Sequence in workflow | Number | | **Field Visibility** | Which fields visible in stage | Field Mapping | | **Associated Workflows** | Agentic workflows to execute | Agent Config | | **Associated Files** | Stage-specific file templates | File Config | **Stage Workflows** Workflows represent agentic automation processes that execute at specific triggers (creation or update events) within a sub-project. They enable intelligent, event-driven automation of business logic. All workflows are run through a specific stage. **Purpose** * Automate business logic and decision-making * Execute intelligent agents for complex operations * Trigger integrations and external actions * Support multi-step, conditional automation Stages Configuration
