Workflows Feature Requests: Meta Data in Triggers and Parse JSON response

Really excited about the new workflow triggers—this update is taking things to the next level.

I have two feature requests that I think could make workflows even better over time:

1. Meta Data in Triggers

Right now, there’s no way to see metadata about what or who initiated a trigger. Here’s a screenshot of a failed workflow that was triggered by an app interaction:

Unfortunately, I can’t tell who or when it was triggered. Adding metadata like this (e.g., user info, timestamps) to the history would be very helpful for debugging and tracking.

2. Parsing JSON Responses

It would be great if we could parse JSON responses from API calls directly in the app. Currently, we have to store the response in a separate column and then run JSON queries for each field.

Being able to parse JSON in the app and map the fields to future actions would make workflows much more efficient and streamlined.

3. Grouping Workflows

Last but not least, I just have a UI suggestion. Would it be possible to group workflows in folders. Things will get messy pretty quickly with all of the new possibilities that we have, so being able to create custom groups or folders to organize our workflows would be amazing.


Aside from these ideas, I’m really happy with the recent workflow updates.
