Tutorial: Run your first workflow

This is the fastest way to see Rival do real work. It assumes your admin has approved at least one workflow for your team. Set aside about ten minutes.

1. Pick a workflow

Open the Marketplace or your Workspace and choose an approved workflow. For your first run, pick something low-risk — a summary or a read-only task — so you can watch it work without worrying about consequences.

2. Run it

Open the workflow and run it. Provide any context it asks for. Rival carries out the steps, using the tools and connected data it’s allowed to reach. For what’s happening under the hood, see Workflows.

3. Review the output

When it finishes, read what it produced. This is the moment to build trust — check that the result is what you expected before you rely on it.

4. Approve any actions

If the workflow includes an action that needs sign-off, it pauses and shows you what it’s about to do. Review it, then approve or reject. Nothing final happens without your yes. See Approval workflows.

5. Check the status and result

The outcome is delivered and logged in your Activity, where you can see what ran and when.

What you just learned

You ran an automated process, kept a human in the loop on the consequential step, and saw the result logged. That’s the core loop of Operational AI. Next: Adopt your first agent.
