You don’t need new vocabulary to get value from Workmore — but you’ll see a few terms in the product, and it helps to know what they map to in your own work. Read this as “the thing I already say” → “what Workmore calls it.”

Your words → our words

You’d say…Workmore calls itWhat it means
”the work I do over and over”a processA task you repeat that we can run for you.
”a step in what I do”a nodeOne action in the process — get data, send an email, decide.
”what kicks it off”a triggerThe first step; it starts the process (a schedule, a button, an incoming request).
“the whole thing, start to finish”a workflowAll the steps connected in order.
”where I lay it out”the canvasThe space where you arrange the steps.
”a named bundle I turn on”a sectionA group of related workflows you publish together.
”turn it on for real”publishMake the process run on its own from now on.
”one time it ran”a run (or record)A single pass through the process for one item of work.
”do this for each one”split into recordsHandle each item in a list on its own.
”put them back together”combine recordsGather the per-item results into one.

A few more, when you meet them

  • Trigger — every process starts with one. Think of it as the answer to “when should this happen?”
  • Section vs. workflow — a workflow is one start-to-finish flow; a section is a bundle of related workflows you publish (turn on) as a unit.
  • Run / record — when a process runs, each item of work travels through the steps as a record. If last week had 40 signups, that’s 40 records flowing through the same steps.
  • Publish — until you publish, you’re drafting. Publishing is what makes it run automatically.
If a term ever gets in your way, that’s a docs bug — tell us. You should be able to automate your work without learning ours.
