Folders to organize Workflows

Similar to the new folders to organize contact list, the same organization for workflows is needed. Many of my workflows automate specific campaigns or simple administrative tasks. Many of them are related or unrelated in someway. I would love a way to better organize each workflow into a folder structure.

You can now organize your workflows into folders on the workflows listing page. Navigate to the workflows tool and you’ll see an updated design for the Workflows listing page. There's a new option to “Create folder” in the top right. Once you create the folder, you can bulk select workflows and move them into the folder.

 

Note: You can only create one level of folders, and cannot nest them. Deleting a folder also deletes all the workflows inside of it, which is made clear in the prompt.

Thank you everybody for your patience and for providing feedback on this. We know this is a huge pain point today in Workflows and definitely want to solve it, but we want to solve it the right way. This is something we hope to tackle in 2019, and we'll keep you updated here.

It would be great to be able to sort workflows by folders. I love workflows and so I've made a ton of them, but its hard to keep track of them all without a means of organization other than a file naming convention.

 

Plus it would be beneficial for testing, a for ones to be tested, and one for validated workflows etc.

OMG we havent even gone live yet with our sales team and already I have about 15 workflows set up plus a whole lot in testing This is crazy. 

Come on Hubspot - cant be that hard

This feature would be very useful, especially for me where I have 7 workflows under one campaign...

 

I can foresee my workflows page becoming very messy!

You should be able to sort or file or group workflows like how the properties are listed.  Or have them organized by categories Marketing, Sales, Deals, etc.  I have 8 workflows right now and potentially about 20 when I build all my pipelines.  It is already hard to find what I am looking for, I can only imagine when I build more.

It is more easy to subdivide workflow in various folder in order to have a structured overview.

 

Would be really really great!!

 

best regards, Farid

Excellent idea!

 Yes please - much needed! Always reluctant to delete Workflows "just in case" - this would help greatly.

We use Hubspot for marketing, sales and service and use workflows that are managed by people from eacht department. So it would be nice if we could organize workflows with folders, categories or labels to have an overview of who's responsible for which workflow.
