in Workflows

I am trying to Create a workflow for a form that I am looking to send to our customers. I have created a workflow and added it to app studios.

But when i go and check on my embedded link it shows the card outline but doesnt show the workflow form that is on it in my instance.

Are workflows not compatible with embedded links, or did I miss something setting up the workflow?

Thanks in advance

    Workflow start forms, unfortunately, don't work in Embed at present.

    The work around currently would be to build a brick that is the workflow start form. That will work. I will make sure engineering sees this.

    @DanHendriksen Thank you this is very helpful.

    Unfortunately, the "Workflow Start Form" is not installing in the instance.

    Do you think that it is more beneficial to use a regular form and embed that app, but then I wont get to see the form in the fillable format is there a way to make a workflow based on an existing form. not one existing/created in the workflow?

    I'm not sure that I follow, but if you go to the Asset Library, then in the upper right go to Pro Code Editor, the Workflow Start Form is there. It's well commented with good examples, but you'll need some JS/HTML/CSS skills or help from an AI as you're in pro-code territory.

    If you need to embed it, that's what I would do. If you're not up for that, I have one other workaround…but I'd rather not share it unless it's the last option. LOL.

    @DanHendriksen I apologize but I am not the best at JS/HTML/CSS. I have gotten somewhere by adding in my columns, but I cannot figure out how to get the workflow to run after clicking submission. instead of trying making it go to the workflow would it be easier to get it to just send an email after it was submitted.

    what is either your other workaround or how possible is it to set it up as an email export?
