Search workflows based on type of action

Hi,

 

Right now, we can search workflows by name and filter them by status, creator, type and team.

 

It would be very useful we can search workflows which have some kind of actions inside.

 

For example. Right now I need to know which of our workflows have the "rotate record owner" action inside. But we have a hundred workflows. 

 

Thanks,

Daniel.

Hi, Everyone,

 

I am Jess, one of the product managers in the automation group. Today we began rolling out a multi-select Action Type filter for the Workflows list page. If you don't see it yet, it should be rolled out to 100% of Workflow customers by 4/3/24. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

 

Best,

Jess

I agree we have a large number of workflows too and complex processes. It would be very helpful to see which WFs edit a certain contact / company / deal property. Especially as new people start with our business that don't have a full understanding of the flow on effects of changes.

This is literally the same thing I need to do (find owner assignment actions). I think there are two prominent use cases for this search functionality:

  1. you've taken over a HubSpot instance that's been in place for years and have no familiarity with the setup of the hundreds of existing workflows
  2. it's audit time and you need to log/understand/categorize workflow functionality

I am facing both of those right now, and it would be a significant timesaver to have an action-based search function.

I agree too, for us it's the "Owner assignment" and the "Slack notifications" ; but actually each kind of actions would be great !
