Beyond Simple Automations
Real enterprise workflows are complex: they span multiple systems, require conditional logic, handle errors gracefully, and must run reliably even when individual components fail.
Why Temporal?
Agento's workflow engine is built on Temporal, the industry standard for durable execution:
Guaranteed Completion
Workflows survive server restarts, network failures, and system outages
Automatic state recovery: workflows resume exactly where they left off
Built-in retry policies with exponential backoff
Visual Workflow Builder
Design workflows visually without code:
Drag-and-drop skill and connector blocks
Conditional branching (if/else, switch)
Parallel execution for independent steps
Loop constructs for batch processing
Human-in-the-loop approval gates
Error Handling
Enterprise-grade error management:
Per-step retry configuration
Timeout policies (per-step and workflow-level)
Fallback paths for graceful degradation
Dead letter queues for failed executions
Example: Invoice Processing Workflow
1Receive: Email attachment detected via connector
2Extract: AI skill extracts invoice fields
3Validate: Cross-reference with PO database
4Approve: Route to manager if amount exceeds threshold
5Process: Create entry in accounting system
6Notify: Send confirmation to vendor
Each step is durable, audited, and governed by organizational policies.
