Build the playbooks. Let agents execute them.
Multi-step jobs, branching logic, approval queues, escalation rules, quiet hours, CRM updates. You design the workflow; AI agents execute the steps that need judgement; rule-based steps run themselves.
Traditional workflow tools (Zapier, n8n) execute rules you wrote. ScendCore workflows mix rules with agent steps — an agent decides what to do at a decision point, the workflow handles the deterministic parts around it. Less brittle, less authoring.
A real workflow — with one AI decision step inside it.
Trigger fires when a form is submitted. Rule-based branch routes ICP-fit leads to Emma, who decides where each one goes next. Hybrid by design — rules where rules work, agents where judgment is needed.
Build governed automation that AI can execute safely
What the engine handles for you
Agent steps are first-class
A workflow node can be "let Emma decide" — not just "run this rule." The agent reads context, takes the action, hands off to the next step. Workflow + intelligence in one tool.
- "Agent decides" as a node type
- Per-step autonomy controls
- Outcome-aware branching from agent decisions
- Audit log per step with inputs + result
Built for compliance + RBAC
Every workflow is versioned. Every approval is logged. RBAC controls who can author what. Workflow changes diff like code; approvals required before promotion to production.
- Version history + diff per workflow
- Per-workflow RBAC (who can edit, who can run)
- Production / staging environments
- Approval-to-promote workflow changes
Custom steps via Skills
Need a step that calls your internal API? Author a Custom Skill in the developer platform; the workflow calls it like any built-in node.
- Skill-as-node — any HTTPS endpoint
- Per-skill auth (JWT, mTLS, OAuth)
- Skill test harness with preview
- Marketplace of community skills (coming Q3)
18+ starter templates
Common motions ship as templates — cold outbound, warm follow-up, recovery, expansion, renewal risk save plan. Clone, customise, run.
- Cold outbound · warm follow-up · recovery
- Renewal risk save plan
- Expansion intent surface
- Custom templates per industry
Included from Starter
Solo gets basic automations; Starter unlocks the full Workflow Engine with multi-step + approvals. Pro adds advanced orchestration.
