How a run works in Works
What happens when Works runs a workflow?
A run is the work of one workflow. The work is done in stages. In most stages, an agent does some of the work. You answer questions and make choices during the stages. In most workflows, you also approve the result. At the end, you get the output of the workflow, such as a plan or a profile.

You answer questions during the run
Each workflow asks you questions about your business. Some questions ask for information about your business. Some ask you to choose an option or make a decision. Others ask you to confirm a fact. Your answers set how the run works for your business.

Who does the work in each stage
An agent, you, or you and the agent together do the work in a stage. You do the parts that need you, such as making a choice. Some stages use the output of another workflow. Each workflow page shows who does the work in each stage.
