Examples
Each one is built from the building blocks GoRunner has today. Each starts as a draft, and you decide when it goes live.
“Expenses arrive on a form. Finance approves by email. Approved ones go in the sheet.”
An example · a draft · press Live · A rejection doesn’t stop the run by itself: the branch sends it the other way.
“Staff ask for leave on a form; their manager approves by email; it goes on the team calendar.”
An example · a draft · press Live
“New order in our sheet? My manager approves it by email, then it’s marked approved.”
An example · a draft · press Live
“Refunds over $500 wait for a manager’s OK.”
An example · a draft · press Live · Refunds of $500 or less end the run at the Filter, so this workflow sends nothing for them. A rejected refund takes the empty arm. The last step needs an API on your refund system to call.
“When someone fills in my form, add them to my sheet and email them.”
An example · a draft · press Live · The form is GoRunner’s own hosted form page.
“When a meeting is booked, create a notes doc and email everyone the link.”
An example · a draft · press Live
“When an invoice arrives by email, save it to Drive and log it in my sheet.”
Not yet: reading Gmail and full Drive access wait on Google’s security review.
“When an email reaches our support inbox, log it in our table.”
An example · a draft · press Live · Only for inboxes that still allow IMAP sign-in with a password. Microsoft 365 no longer does.
“When a file lands on our partner’s SFTP server, copy it into Google Drive.”
Not yet: reading Gmail and full Drive access wait on Google’s security review.
“Every weekday at 8, email me today’s meetings.”
An example · a draft · press Live
“Every weekday at 8, email me today’s posts from the blogs I follow.”
An example · a draft · press Live
“Every 5 minutes, check my website. Email me if it’s down.”
An example · a draft · press Live · Down means no response, or a status of 400 or more. The check has “Never Error” on, so a site that is down reaches the branch instead of failing the run.
“Email me whenever any of my automations fails.”
An example · a draft · press Live · GoRunner sends no failure emails by itself. This workflow is how you get them.
“When our site sends an event, log it and post in Slack.”
An example · a draft · press Live
“Give my coding assistant a “look up customer” tool over our database.”
An example · a draft · press Live · Once it’s live, your assistant calls it by name and waits up to 25 s for the answer.
The Email (SMTP) and Email (IMAP) steps sign in to your mail server with a user name and password. Not every mail account still allows that.
Gmail’s own steps need no password: you connect your Google account instead.
