A workflow is a daily routine that runs across every account on one iPhone. You build it once — “post twice, like some stories, edit nothing” — pick a start time, and the phone does it every day it is switched on. One workflow belongs to one phone. Every step fans out across every account on that phone, so a routine with three steps and four accounts produces twelve executions a day. The builder says so as you work, naming the phone and counting the accounts every step will fan out across. Workflows need Autogrowth MAX, like everything else that drives a phone. See Automations.

The workflow builder.

Each step runs between 1 and 50 times per account, and a routine needs at least one step. A posting step must name a collection to draw media from — the builder will not save without one. Not every automation can be a step. The log-in jobs are excluded, because fanning a login across every account on a phone every morning makes no sense. The catalogue table in Automations says which are eligible.

Run it, pause it, retire it

The workflows list shows Workflow, Accounts, Schedule, Last run and Enabled, with filters for Active, Paused and Warnings.
  • The Enabled switch pauses and resumes. A paused routine stops producing runs; the runs it already created are untouched.
  • Bulk Pause and Resume act on everything you have ticked.
  • Delete archives it. The confirmation reads “Delete this workflow? Scheduled runs will stop.” The routine disappears from the list and its row reads Archived; it is hidden, not destroyed.
Resuming re-checks your licence; pausing does not. If MAX is not active on the organization, a paused routine cannot be switched back on.

Warnings, and the step that quietly does not run

Each morning the routine builds that day’s runs. Anything it could not do is recorded on the routine and shown in its detail panel under Last run warnings — the list keeps the most recent 50.
A collection drains; it does not recycle. Fresh items are used first, and once everything fresh is gone the routine starts reusing media and warning you about it every time. Keep topping the collection up, or your routine slowly turns into a reposting machine. See Collections.
The Incubator, a separate MAX feature, warms accounts up over a few days before they start posting; it is not part of a workflow.
