Workflows are a powerful way to keep processes under control, but in practice this feature is still often forgotten or started too late. With the Workflows API, you can automate the start of workflows from your own integrations or scripts — without any extra clicks.
Example: deal accepted → “New customer” workflow
Suppose the “New customer” workflow needs to be started as soon as a deal is accepted. This workflow includes several steps, such as scheduling a kick-off meeting and creating a folder in the DMS. Previously, an employee had to start this workflow manually. As a result, this step could be forgotten or happen later than desired.
With the Workflows API, you can now automate this process. For example, using a flow in n8n: as soon as a deal is accepted in Simplicate, n8n immediately makes an API call to start the correct workflow, including the responsible employee. This way, the onboarding process for a new customer starts automatically and on time, without any manual action.
💡 Even more powerful in combination with Webhooks
The Workflows API works seamlessly with the recently released Webhooks feature. Use a webhook as a trigger, for example when a deal is accepted, so your automation tool can respond directly to events in Simplicate — without having to poll for updates.
Get started
The Workflows API is available for all subscriptions. This is not a setting in the interface, but an API that you or your implementation partner can use from your own integrations or scripts.
