How a workflow is put together
1
Choose a trigger
The trigger decides when a run starts: manually from the editor, on a recurring schedule, from a webhook,
or when something happens in Enginy — a reply, a website visit, a new or updated record. See
Triggers.
2
Start with an import step
Every workflow begins with a step that brings records in: a LinkedIn search, a CRM list, a Crunchbase
query, or a manual selection. Import steps decide whether the workflow operates on contacts or companies.
3
Enrich the records
Enrichment steps fill in the data you need — emails and phone numbers, LinkedIn profile and company data,
technologies, or AI-computed fields.
4
Branch when paths differ
Conditions split the flow based on a record’s data, so matched and unmatched records can take different
paths.
5
Act on the results
Action steps add records to lists, campaigns, or your blocklist, export them to your CRM, send
notifications, or hand records to another workflow.
Step categories
Connections and credits
Some steps need a connection or consume credits before they can run:- LinkedIn identity — steps that search or scrape LinkedIn run through a LinkedIn identity connected in Enginy.
- CRM connection — importing from or exporting to HubSpot, Salesforce, Dynamics, Zoho, Pipedrive, Attio, or TribeCRM requires that CRM to be connected in your settings.
- Enginy credits — data-provider lookups (emails, phones, Crunchbase, TheirStack, StoreLeads) and AI steps consume credits. Each step’s reference entry lists its requirements.
In the workflow editor, steps that need a connection you haven’t set up yet prompt you to connect before
they can be added.
How to read the step reference
Every step entry follows the same shape:- What it does and when to use it — the step’s behavior in plain words.
- Settings — the options you configure on the step.
- Output — what the step passes to the next step.
- Requirements — connections and credits the step needs, if any.
