Workflows
Notifications
Follow workflow runs on your iPhone with notifications and a Live Activity on the Lock Screen.
Notifications on iPhone
With Profile → Notifications → Workflow actions on, your iPhone tells you what your workflows need or did, usually within a minute or two:
- "Email draft ready" over its subject. Approve asks for Face ID, then sends it. Calendar events and reminders get their own.
- "Email draft needs a recipient": tap it to add one.
- "Italic needs your answer": tap it to answer in Chat.
- A draft your version of Italic can't show has no Approve or Discard: tap it to review it in Italic.
- What a workflow did on its own, such as "Sent “Lunch” to …", arrives without a sound. A failure, such as "Couldn’t send the email: Gmail is off in Connectors.", plays one.
No notification quotes an email's body. Once you decide a draft anywhere, its notification disappears from your iPhone.
Follow a run on the Lock Screen
With Profile → Notifications → Workflow Live Activities on, a run shows on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in StandBy, even with Italic closed. It lights the screen with the workflow's name, without a sound, and steps through Transcribed, Workflow and Done.
- A draft shows Needs approval, with Approve and Discard when your version of Italic can show it. Approve asks for Face ID.
- Done shows what it did and leaves the Lock Screen 5 minutes later.
- Failed says why and stays 15 minutes.
- Open Italic means this iPhone hasn't heard how the run went. Opening Italic catches it up.
Tap it at any point to open Italic at the run.
