# Create a workflow

> Pick an example that matches what you want, then configure its steps.

Workflows start from an example. Select **New workflow** and Ocoya shows what it can build, grouped into **Marketing**, **Engagement** and **Advanced**.

Selecting one previews its chain of steps on the right. **Use this example** creates the workflow with those steps in place and opens it. Give it a few seconds — Ocoya is building the steps before it takes you there.

## The examples

**Marketing** — publishing something.

| Example                | What it does                                       | Steps                                |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Daily poster**       | Posts AI-generated content on a recurring schedule | Schedule → AI agent → Create post    |
| **RSS poster**         | Posts when a new article appears in a feed         | RSS → AI agent → Create post         |
| **WooCommerce poster** | Posts when you publish a product                   | WooCommerce → AI agent → Create post |

**Engagement** — replying to people.

| Example               | What it does                                                   | Steps                                              |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **DM chatbot**        | Answers DMs using AI                                           | New DM → AI agent → Send DM                        |
| **Mention responder** | Comments on public posts that mention you                      | New mention → AI agent → Reply in comments         |
| **Comment-to-DM**     | Replies to comments containing a keyword and DMs the commenter | New comment → Filter → Send DM → Reply in comments |

**Advanced**

| Example            | What it does               | Steps                            |
| ------------------ | -------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Webhook poster** | Posts when a URL is called | Webhook → AI agent → Create post |

<Warning>
  All three Engagement examples run on the Inbox, which supports **Facebook and Instagram only**. They will not fire for any other network.
</Warning>

## Create from scratch

The drawer also offers **Create from scratch**. It's marked **Coming soon** — the button says so when you select it — so for now, start from the example whose shape is closest to what you want.

## 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 an interval, an RSS trigger needs a feed URL, an AI agent needs to be picked or created.

Work down the chain from the trigger, then switch the workflow on. See [Triggers and actions](/help/workflow-steps).

## 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** → RSS or WooCommerce poster
* Something should happen **when a person does something** → an Engagement example
* Something should happen **when another system says so** → Webhook poster
