Select New workflow and Ocoya opens Create workflow. There are three ways to start.

  • Describe it. Type what should happen and when, such as “When someone leaves a one-star Google review, post it to Slack”, and AI builds the workflow with its steps already set.
  • Pick an example. Search them, or narrow the list by section in the sidebar.
  • Start from scratch. An empty workflow, opened in the builder, for you to add steps to.
Ocoya Create workflow window listing workflow examples

The Create workflow window. Picking an example builds its chain of steps and opens it.

The examples

SectionWhat’s in itFor example
EngagementAnswering people who message, comment on or mention youReply to every Instagram DM · Thank people who comment, by name
ReviewsAnswering and sharing Google reviewsReply to every Google review · Alert your team on Slack about bad reviews
SocialPosting from webhooks, Notion, Airtable and other toolsPost your Notion content calendar to Instagram · Webhook to Slack and Discord

BloggingTurning new articles into postsTurn new articles into Instagram and TikTok posts · Cross-post your articles to DEV
EcommerceAnnouncing products from your storeAnnounce new products on Instagram and Facebook · Pin every new product

Every example names the networks it uses, because each step does: Reply to every Instagram DM rather than DM chatbot. Examples for networks you can’t connect aren’t shown.

Examples that answer people cover Facebook, Instagram, Google Business reviews, Bluesky, Mastodon and WordPress comments. Telegram comments, Discord replies and Whop support chats have a trigger and a reply step too. See What works on each network.

After it’s created

The workflow opens in the builder with its steps laid out and inactive. Each step needs configuring before it will do anything useful: a schedule needs a time, an RSS trigger needs a feed URL, and a step that posts or replies needs its channel picked.

Work down the chain from the trigger, then switch the workflow on. See Triggers and actions.

Choosing between examples

The trigger is the real decision — it’s what you can’t change later without starting again.

  • Something should happen on a rhythm → Daily poster
  • Something should happen when content appears elsewhere → an RSS example
  • Something should happen when a person does something → an Engagement example
  • Something should happen when another system says so → Webhook poster
