The Configure with AI feature in Workflow Builder helps streamline workflow creation by automatically suggesting context-based field values across multiple activities. This significantly reduces manual input while still allowing users to maintain full control over their configurations. This article explains how it works, where it adds value, and what to keep in mind when using it.


What Configure with AI Does

Configure with AI is designed to intelligently prefill fields in various activities within Workflow Builder by analyzing the context of your workflow. When you click the button, the system searches for relevant values already present in the workflow's context and applies them where appropriate.

In each activity, Configure with AI can populate values like product dimensions, file names, IDs, and dispatch details.


When to Use It

Using Configure with AI is ideal when you:

  • Want to save time configuring repeated or complex activities

  • Are working with workflows that already contain structured data or templates

  • Need a quick starting point that you can fine-tune manually

It’s particularly helpful for accelerating setup in workflows where many fields depend on prior context.


What to Expect

  • Automatic Field Suggestions: The tool fills in as many fields as possible using the existing context.

  • Manual Control: Any field can be manually edited, even after AI suggestions have been applied.

  • Incomplete Data Handling: If the AI cannot find a suitable value, the field is left blank or highlighted for user input.

  • Flexibility: You can override or remove AI-suggested values at any time without impacting the rest of the workflow.


Things to Keep in Mind

  • It’s recommended to review all prefilled fields, especially in critical production steps, before finalizing the workflow.

  • Running tests after each AI-assisted configuration helps validate that the right data has been applied.


FAQ

Does Configure with AI complete the entire workflow for me?
No. It accelerates setup by suggesting context-based values, but you retain full responsibility for reviewing and validating the configuration.

Can I use it at any step of the workflow?
It’s available in several key activities, but not all. Look for the Configure with AI button within supported activities.

What if the suggestions are incorrect?
You can delete or modify any AI-suggested value. The tool provides a helpful starting point but doesn't lock you in.

Is testing necessary after using the feature?
Yes. Running a test ensures that the context is properly applied and that the workflow behaves as expected.
