Considerations
When using the Start Workflow tool, keep the following in mind:
Workflow inputs
If the selected workflow requires input parameters, the agent will attempt to provide these based on the conversation context. Make sure your agent instructions clearly state how and when these inputs should be collected from the user.Respect access permissions
The tool operates under the permissions of the user running the agent. If the user does not have permission to start the selected workflow, the action will fail.Context dependency
If your workflow relies on object context (e.g., a specific record), ensure the agent has that context before triggering the workflow. Without it, the workflow may fail or produce incomplete results.No persistent memory
The tool only triggers the workflow for the current request. It does not store or reuse workflow state in future conversations.
