# Workflows

As you might have guessed, Workflows are the core of WorkflowDog.

They are a collection of actions connected together to form a series of interrelated steps. These actions are initiated by a workflow's trigger.

See [Actions](/essentials/actions) for how steps work and links to the full **[actions reference](/reference/introduction)**.

## Triggers

Triggers are the starting point of a workflow. They are the event that will cause the workflow to run.

Some common triggers are:

* A URL being visited
* An email being received
* A scheduled time
* A form submission

Read more about triggers in the [Triggers](/essentials/triggers) guide.
