When does one workflow begin and another end?
It’s possible to create extremely long Workflows, but there are clear points where starting a new Workflow is recommended instead of extending an existing one. These decisions typically come down to human review, time and cost, and organization.
1. Human Review
There are times when it’s beneficial for someone to review the content in the Grid before moving forward. For example:
- After drafting a content brief and outline in the Grid, add a review checkpoint.
- A fresh pair of eyes ensures the brief aligns with project goals before generating the final content.
2. Time and Cost
Some Workflows require more time and incur higher costs. Splitting them out can prevent wasted resources:
- Research Workflows: Isolate research tasks so they don’t have to be redone if adjustments are needed.
- Image Generation: Generate expensive images separately to avoid paying multiple times when rerunning content Workflows.
3. Organization
Breaking one complex Workflow into multiple, focused Workflows can make management simpler:
- Fewer steps per Workflow improve clarity and tracking.
- Teams can work in parallel on different Workflows without stepping on each other.
Again, there's no right answer. However, it really comes down to human review, time and cost, and organization.
