Officeless

How-to guide

Officeless Workflows

Officeless Workflow automations promote from Dev to PRD with dependency-aware sync, so a workflow doesn't go live missing the app or data source it depends on.

Before you start

  • Officeless Workflows Dev and PRD gateways configured
  • Dependent VP apps or Data Manager tables already promoted, or included in the same batch

Step by step

  1. 1

    Configure the gateway pair

    Set the Dev source gateway and PRD destination gateway for Workflows — the same pattern used for VP and Data Manager.

  2. 2

    Sync and resolve dependencies

    Sync pulls the workflow definition plus its declared dependencies, so Tentacles can flag a promotion that's missing a target-side app or table.

  3. 3

    Select workflow ids to promote

    Choose which automations move — batch multiple related workflows in one run when they must land together.

  4. 4

    Deploy with the environment rewrite

    Deploy applies the -uat2 host rewrite across every step reference so the promoted workflow's calls resolve inside PRD.

    Tip: Check Executions right after deploy — a missing dependency usually surfaces as a first-run failure, not a policy block.
