Workflows are automated routines that run without you having to do anything. Define a task once, and Dimension runs it for you — on a schedule or when something happens in your tools.

​
How to create a workflow

You can create workflows from the Workflows page or by asking Dimension in chat:
  • “Create a workflow that summarizes my emails every morning”
  • “Set up a workflow that posts a Slack message when a Vercel deployment fails”
A workflow has a few parts:
  • Prompt — What you want Dimension to do, written in plain language
  • Integrations — Which tools the workflow can use
  • Schedule or trigger — When it should run

​
How workflows execute

​
Workflow types

Run at set times — daily, weekdays, weekly, or custom.Examples:
  • Every weekday at 9 AM — summarize unread emails
  • Every Monday at 8 AM — weekly sprint summary
  • Every Friday at 5 PM — weekly accomplishment recap

​
Example workflows

​
Notifications

When a workflow finishes, Dimension notifies you through your preferred channel — email, Slack, iMessage, or push notification. You can change your preferred channel in Settings. Email is the default. You can also tell Dimension where to send results directly in the workflow prompt — e.g. “…and post the summary in #general on Slack” — as long as that integration is connected.

​
Approvals

Workflows can run fully automatically, or you can require approval before Dimension takes sensitive actions — just like approvals in chat.
Disabling approvals means workflows will take actions (like sending emails or posting messages) without asking first. Only disable approvals for workflows you’ve thoroughly tested.

​
Marketplace

Browse and install pre-built workflows from the marketplace, organized by role (Engineering, Product, Marketing, Sales, etc.). You can also publish your own workflows for others to use.
The Marketplace is a great way to get started — find a workflow close to what you need and customize it.
