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.&#x20;

## 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.
