### 1. Requirements

Before creating a workflow, ensure you have:

* **At least Analyst-level permissions.**
* **A dataframe** that you want to move.
* **Credentials** for the destination app.

***

### 2. Starting a New Workflow

1. Navigate to the **Activations** tab.
2. Click **New Workflow**.
3. Provide:
   * **A name** for the workflow.
   * **A description** explaining its purpose.

***

### 3. Understanding Workflow Blocks

* A workflow consists of **blocks**, each representing a **step** in the process.
* A **starting block** is created for you automatically.
* In this block, **select the dataframe** you want to move.

***

### 4. Adding an App to the Workflow

* Click the **plus (+) button** on the first block to add a new app block.
* After you choose an app, click the **plus (+) button** on this block. If this is your first time using a particular app, you'll be prompted to provide authentication credentials. You only need to do this once for each app.
* After authentication, you can click the **plus (+) button** to add an action block.
