Domo Workflows is a low-code automation framework that allows you to orchestrate actions across the Domo platform and external systems. While Workflows can be built visually using Domo’s drag-and-drop canvas, developers can also create, manage, and execute them programmatically using the Workflow APIs. This page provides a high-level introduction for developers looking to integrate Workflows into automated pipelines, CI/CD tooling, or external applications.

​
What Makes Workflows Developer-Friendly?

  • API-driven orchestration Programmatically start, manage, and interact with workflows from external systems, scripts, or even other Domo instances.
  • Custom scripting Embed custom logic in JavaScript or Python steps to manipulate inputs, call APIs, or apply business logic within your flow.
  • System integration Workflows can call external services, work with Domo DataSets, trigger DataFlows, and send notifications—all in one pipeline.
  • Security and governance Workflows run with scoped tokens and support fine-grained permissions and execution visibility.
