ActiveWorkflow Documentation

ActiveWorkflow is a workflow platform that works alongside your existing technology stack (e.g., your Rails or Django app) to give you an easy and structured way to:

• Group business logic for periodic execution—for example, to generate and distribute a weekly PDF report.
• Poll resources—for example, to check if a file has become available on S3 or on an FTP server.
• Orchestrate event-driven functionality—for example, to trigger a customised email campaign in response to a pattern of user behaviour.

You do the above by creating, scheduling, and monitoring workflows of agents, which are self-contained services (or microservices) that can be written in the programming language(s) of your choice. The underlying platform gives you a simple way to connect agents together, extensive logging, state management, and serves as a foundation for scalability and reliability. You can use ActiveWorkflow via its web UI and programmatically via its APIs, as a "headless" platform.
