Build your first app
An app is a self-service interface, such as a form or dashboard, that runs your scripts and workflows behind the scenes. In this tutorial you’ll wrap the welcome-flow workflow in a simple form.
Prerequisites: The welcome-flow workflow (see Your first workflow).
-
Open the app editor
In your Orvanta dashboard, create a new app and open the app editor.
-
Add a form component
Drop in a Form component. Because
welcome-flowdeclares anameinput, the form field can be generated from its schema. See Auto-generated UIs. -
Bind the form to the workflow
Set the form’s submit action to trigger
welcome-flow, mapping the form field to the workflow’snameinput. -
Display the result
Add a Text component bound to the run output so the greeting appears after submission.
-
Publish and share
Publish the app and share its URL with teammates. They can now run the workflow safely without touching the CLI, and input is validated before the run starts.
