# Workflow tab

{% hint style="info" %}
This article provides a general overview of the Workflow tab. For a deeper dive into how the workflow editor functions and how to build with it effectively, we recommend exploring the article series linked below.

The workflow[^1] tab is where you set up events and actions to instruct Bubble what to do as the user interacts with your app, such as what happens when a button is clicked.

A workflow is a combination of an *event* (which triggers the workflow) and one or more *actions* (which tells Bubble what to do when that event occurs). For example, the click of a button (event) can lead to creating a new thing in the database (action).

Workflows are displayed as squares, and clicking one will display the actions within that workflow.

## Workflow inspector

Whenever you select an event or an action, the workflow inspector will be displayed. This shows the relevant settings for the object you have selected.

In the above example we have selected a [*Go to page*](#user-content-fn-2)[^2] action, and the workflow inspector shows the relevant settings available for this action. In this case, this step in the workflow (marked as *Step 2*) will send the user to the index page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/getting-started/navigating-the-bubble-editor/tabs-and-sections/workflow-tab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
