Workflow Automation

7 prompts: defining what starts a workflow → what it actually does in response → the engine that runs it reliably → automatic retries when something fails → a simple way to build workflows without code → scheduled, always-on deployment.

A reliable background-jobs service so failed steps actually retry, a database, and email notifications — and why it's not worth building your own scheduler from scratch.

5 checks: can someone fake a trigger to run your workflows, can a workflow accidentally act on another user's data, is there protection against a workflow triggering itself forever, are saved credentials like API keys stored securely, is there a limit so one workflow can't run wild.
