Workflow QA Checklist

Use this checklist to decide whether an automation workflow is ready to publish, sell, or hand to a client.

The standard

A workflow is not ready because it runs once on your machine. It is ready when another operator can understand the use case, import the workflow, connect credentials, test sample data, and know what output should look like.

Pre-launch checklist

CheckPass condition
Use caseThe workflow solves one clear business job with a named buyer and trigger.
InputsRequired fields, files, credentials, and sample payloads are documented.
OutputsThe user can see exactly what should be created, updated, sent, or logged.
Failure pathThe workflow explains what happens when an API fails, data is missing, or a rate limit is hit.
Setup timeA new user can complete setup in under 30 minutes for a simple workflow.
Test dataAt least one safe sample input is included so users can test before going live.
MaintenanceKnown dependencies, API limits, and credentials are listed.
Commercial claimThe product page states what it helps with without promising impossible outcomes.

Copy-paste scorecard

Score each workflow from 1 to 5 on clarity, setup speed, output reliability, failure handling, and business value. Do not publish paid workflows below 20/25 unless the page clearly marks them as experimental.
