How to Use the Workflow Template Library in Sparkforge
The Workflow Template Library ships ready-to-use automation recipes you can preview and load into the workflow editor. Faster than building from scratch and based on proven patterns.
The Workflow Template Library gives Sparkforge users a starting point for automations. Pick a template, preview the canvas, and load it into the editor where every action is editable.
Why use templates
- Skip blank-canvas paralysis — start from a working recipe
- Templates follow patterns that already work for similar businesses
- Library grows over time with new recipes
- Every loaded template is fully editable
- Useful for onboarding new staff to automation patterns
Open the template library
- In the left sidebar, click Automation.
- Switch to the Workflows tab.
- Click Create Workflow.
- Choose Select from Template.
Browse and filter
The Filters panel narrows by category — Lead Nurture, Onboarding, and similar. You can also search by keyword or sort by popularity. Hover any template card for a quick description.
Preview before loading
- Click the eye icon or template card to open the preview.
- Read the About this Template blurb and check any prerequisites.
- Examine the full triggers-and-actions canvas to understand the flow.
- Click Continue to load it into the workflow editor.
Customize after loading
Once loaded, edit triggers, actions, delays, and conditions to fit your process. Run a test with a sample contact or tag before activating. Save and switch to Active when you're confident.
Best practices
- Test in Draft mode with a small contact subset before full activation
- Bookmark or share template names with teammates so the team uses consistent patterns
- Check the library periodically — new templates land regularly
