Rashad Karanouh bf1220883f docs: partner CTAs on high-traffic pages (workflows, data-model, docker-compose) (#22808)
## Summary

Follow-up to #22719 (merged), which added partner-marketplace CTAs to
four **high-intent, low-traffic** docs pages (SSO, both migration
guides, implementation services).

Reviewing the docs' **top-visited pages** showed none of those four rank
in the top ~20 — they're the high-intent tail, which is correct, but
small reach. This PR extends the same pattern to three **high-traffic
pages that also carry buying intent**, without touching the pure
top-of-funnel intros/quickstarts (volume without intent → a CTA there is
just noise).

Same conventions as #22719: Mintlify-native `<Tip>` callouts,
partner-first with `contact@twenty.com` secondary, directory deep-linked
via `?categories=<scope>` and tagged with `?ref=docs-*`. No new snippet;
no `docs.json`, navigation, or translation (`l/`) changes.

## Pages changed — screenshots (one per page)

or use the Mintlify PR preview once it posts. Paths below are under
`docs.twenty.com`.

### 1. `/user-guide/workflows/overview` (~593 views)
New `## Need Help?` two-bullet `<Tip>` → **Done for you** (Solutioning
partner) / **Onboarding pack** (Workflow Creation). Maps 1:1 to the
named onboarding service.

/>


### 2. `/user-guide/data-model/overview` (~954 views)
Replaced the plain "Need Help?" line with a two-bullet `<Tip>` → **Done
for you** (Solutioning partner) / **Onboarding pack** (Data Model
Design). Keeps the existing Implementation Services link.

/>


### 3. `/developers/self-host/capabilities/docker-compose` (~2421 views)
New `## Managed Hosting` single-line `<Tip>` → *find a certified Twenty
hosting partner* (Hosting), contact fallback. Framed as a lighter
"prefer not to run it yourself?" alternative — deliberately low-pressure
for the DIY self-host audience.

/>

## Notes for reviewers

- Page-selection rationale: intent × volume. Kept the four intent-tail
pages from #22719; added the highest-traffic pages that also carry a
natural partner-buying moment (self-host → Hosting; workflows /
data-model → Solutioning). Intros/quickstarts/contribute pages
intentionally left untouched.
- **Attribution caveat (unchanged from #22719):** twenty.com's analytics
(Cloudflare Web Analytics) is path-based, so `?ref=` is not measurable
yet. Per-page measurement via a `/go/*` redirect Worker remains a
planned, separate follow-up (out of scope here).
- `mintlify validate` passes.

Opened as a draft.

title: Workflows
description: Learn how to build automations in Twenty.
---
## Why Workflows Matter
Twenty was built to bring maximum flexibility to its users. Rather than forcing you to adapt your business processes to rigid, pre-built features, workflows enable you to build automations that create the CRM that best supports your unique business use cases.
Workflows are Twenty's in-app feature for building these automations. They give you the building blocks to create exactly what your business needs, when it needs it.
## What can I do with workflows?
We recommend building automations for two main purposes:
1. **Internal automations to facilitate your team's day-to-day**: Reduce the amount of manual entries and repetitive tasks that slow down your team.
2. **Bring data in and out of Twenty**: Connect Twenty via API calls and webhooks to your database and other tools.
## Building Your First Workflow
### Step 1: Create a New Workflow
1. Go to **Workflows** accessible below the other objects
2. Click **+ New Record**
3. Give your workflow a name
### Step 2: Add a Trigger
Every workflow starts with a trigger. Choose from:
- **Record events**: When a record is created, updated, or deleted
- **Schedule**: Run at specific times (daily, weekly, etc.)
- **Manual**: Triggered by a user action
- **Webhook**: Triggered by a webhook

### Step 3: Add Actions
After your trigger, add one or more actions:
- **Create Record**: Add new records to any object
- **Update Record**: Modify existing record data
- **Delete Record**: Remove records from objects
- **Search Records**: Find records matching criteria
- **Upsert Record**: Create or update based on matching criteria
- **Iterator**: Loop through arrays of records
- **Filter**: Control which records proceed
- **Delay**: Wait before continuing (duration or scheduled date)
- **Send Email**: Send emails via your connected account
- **Code**: Run custom JavaScript
- **HTTP Request**: Call external APIs
- **Form**: Get inputs from users within Twenty UI at the time of execution
- **AI Agent** (Coming soon): Run intelligent AI tasks

### Step 4: Test and Activate
1. Use the **Test** button to run your workflow with sample data
2. Review the results to ensure it works as expected
3. Toggle the workflow **Active** when ready
## Workflow Best Practices
- **Edit step names**: Rename your workflow steps to clearly describe what each one does. This helps with maintenance and makes it easier to hand off to coworkers
- **Leverage previous step data**: You can use fields from records returned by any previous step in your workflow
- **Start simple**: Begin with basic workflows and add complexity over time as you become more comfortable with the system
- **Plan before building**: Map out your workflow logic before you start building to avoid getting stuck halfway through
