Procore automatically opens the workflow builder and creates an 'Untitled' first step for you.

Update the First Step in the Custom Workflow

Begin by selecting the type of step (Response Step, Condition Step) you will use at the start of the workflow.
Follow the instructions for the selected step type:
- Add a Response Step to a Custom Workflow
- Add a Condition Step to a Custom Workflow

Add a Response Step to a Custom Workflow

Enter the following information in the General Information section:
- Step Name. Enter a name for the step.
- Type. Select Response Step.
- Item Status. Enter the item status that will be associated with this workflow step.
- Days to Complete. Enter the number of days the 'Responsible Group' has to complete the workflow step. Then select Calendar Days or Business Days from the drop-down list. Once the set number of days passes, Procore sends a reminder email until the step is complete.
- Optional: Notification Recipients. Select the groups or roles that should receive an automated notification when the workflow step is NOT completed within the number of days specified under Days to Complete. The recipients named here will also receive an email when the workflow step is completed. The default groups include:
  - Workflow Manager. A workflow manager is a Procore user who must be designated on a project.
  - Item Creator. An item creator is a Procore user who created the item on a project.
  - Distribution Group. After you publish this workflow and assign it to a project, you can define different group members when configuring the custom workflow in the Project level commitments tools.
Enter the following information in the Assignees section:
- Assignee Role. Select the role of the user assigned to this step.
  - Optional: Click Create Template Role to create a unique role for this custom workflow.
Enter the following information in the Responses section:

  - Optional: Click Add Step if you want the workflow to progress to a step that has not yet been created. You will be prompted to choose a type and name for the new step.
Repeat the previous step to continue adding responses to this workflow step
Choose from these options:
- Cancel. Click this button to discard any changes you have made.
- Save as Draft. Click this button to save a numbered 'Draft' version of the workflow. Choose this option when you are still working on creating your custom workflow.
  OR
- Save and Publish. Click this button to create a newly published version of the workflow. Choose this option when you are ready to assign your workflow to a project.

Add a Condition Step to a Custom Workflow

Condition steps allow a workflow path to be routed differently depending on whether the conditions of the step are met. To create a condition step, follow the instructions below.

Enter the following information in the General Information section:
- Step Name. Enter a name for the step.
- Type. Select Condition Step.
- When. Select the first part of the hypothesis in the conditional statement. Different conditional statements exist for each tool. See Conditional Statements By Tool.
  - Greater than. If your organization requires additional signatures for amounts greater than or equal to a specified amount, you will want to choose this option and enter an amount in the field to the right.
    OR
  - Less than. If you want the step to function when the hypothesis is less than a specified number.
  - Is. If you want the step to function when a certain field is selected for a custom field.
  - Is Checked. If you want the step to function when a custom field checkbox is checked.
  - Contains any of. If you want the step to function when one or more multi-select options are chosen for a custom field.
- Then. Select a step from the drop-down list or create a new one by clicking the Add Step button.
- Otherwise. Select a step from the drop-down list or create a new one by clicking the Add Step button. This is the step that will be next in the workflow if the current step's conditions are NOT met.
Choose from these options:
- Cancel. Click this button to discard any changes you have made.
- Save as Draft. Click this button to save a numbered 'Draft' version of the workflow. Choose this option when you are still working on creating your custom workflow.
  OR
- Save and Publish. Click this button to create a newly published version of the workflow. Choose this option when you are ready to assign your workflow to a project.
