# workflow automation

The use of software to move work, data, reminders, or decisions through a defined process.

Automate stable, repeatable steps first. Keep exceptions visible and require human approval where judgment or confidentiality matters. A workflow audit should identify the trigger, data source, action, owner, and failure path before implementation. Woven Legal describes AI workflows for intake, drafting, and client communications.
