While building workflows, I’ve been learning that adding more steps doesn’t always make a system better.
A good workflow should be:
✅ Easy to understand
✅ Easy to test
✅ Easy to troubleshoot
✅ Focused on one clear goal
For example, instead of creating a complicated follow-up sequence with 20+ actions, it can be better to start with a simple flow:
New Lead → Immediate Response → Wait → Follow-up → Check Reply → Next Step
Then test it, see what happens, and improve it based on real results.
The goal isn’t to build the most complicated workflow.
The goal is to build a workflow that actually works.
What’s your approach—simple workflows first or build everything at once?
