Recipes

A recipe is an automated workflow that can span multiple apps. For example, you can build a recipe that monitors Salesforce for new accounts and automatically creates corresponding organizations in Zendesk. Every recipe includes a trigger and one or more actions, which are executed when a trigger event occurs.

Starting a recipe activates it to monitor trigger events and execute actions in the background. Stopping a recipe pauses this monitoring.

When you restart a recipe, the recipe processes all trigger events that occurred while it was stopped, resuming from where it left off.

You can set a recipe's visibility to public or private. Public recipes are visible to all Workato users, who can view and clone them.

Each recipe has a unique ID displayed in its URL. For example, the following screenshot shows a recipe with the ID 47979:

This recipe includes a trigger and an action. The New Account in Salesforce trigger activates when a new account is created in Salesforce. The Create organization in Zendesk action creates an organization in Zendesk for each trigger event.
