Workflows Integration
Use Agents for interactive communication and state management. Add a Workflow when a task needs durable multi-step execution, independent retries, or waits for external approval. Choose based on recovery needs; consult Run Workflows before implementing the integration.
Read for the task
| Task | Documentation |
|---|---|
Define a typed AgentWorkflow, start it from an Agent, and configure bindings |
Quick start |
| Call back into the originating Agent and understand durable versus non-durable helpers | AgentWorkflow class |
| Send events, query instances, pause, resume, terminate, or delete tracked workflows | Agent workflow methods |
| Receive progress, completion, errors, and custom events | Lifecycle callbacks |
| Approve or reject a waiting task | Human-in-the-loop approval |
| Persist Workflow results into Agent state | State synchronization |
| Define steps, parameters, retries, and returned values | Workers API |
Design checks
Keep external side effects within durable steps, make retried operations idempotent, and persist the values needed after recovery through step results. Use the Rules of Workflows to choose step boundaries.
Progress reports and client broadcasts may repeat on retry. Use the documented durable step helpers for persistent Agent state changes and completion reporting; see bidirectional communication.
