There are many ways to configure your workflows at Captain Data.
ℹ️ You don't need to create a new workflow each time, you can simply create a new configuration, or duplicate a previous one.
To launch a workflow, you need to fill in a configuration.
Inside a configuration, you will find several sections:
- Integrations: where you choose and set up the integration(s)'s accounts, you will use
- Inputs: the workflow's entry point
- Parameters: specific parameters for your workflow, like the maximum number of results to extract
- Launcher Settings: for advanced scheduling options, like using time slots or repeating the workflow every day
New Configuration

You can create a new one by clicking on Edit & Launch Workflow:
Or access the details of a previous configuration by clicking on Actions > Show configuration, as shown below.
When you're viewing a previous configuration (workflow has already been launched) it will be marked as Read-only.
You can only see, but not modify, the data.
If you want to use this configuration, click on Use configuration at the bottom of the page, to load it as a new configuration: Read-only becomes Edit mode.
Duplicate Job
