# Create a workflow from a template

> Start from a pre-built template with nodes and connections in place, then customize it to fit your automation use case.

Flowker provides pre-built workflow templates that you can use as a starting point. Templates come with pre-configured nodes and connections for common use cases, which you can then customize to fit your needs.

To create a workflow from a template:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Go to the **Workflows** page and click the **+ New Workflow** button.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    The **Workflow Templates** modal will open. The left sidebar lists template categories (e.g., **Compliance**) and the **All** view shows every available template. Each template card shows:

    * **Category** — a colored badge indicating the template's category.
    * **Template name** — a descriptive name for the template.
    * **Description** — a brief summary of what the template does.
    * **Version** — the template version.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Browse templates by category or view all. Click a template card to select it, then click **Use Template**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    If the template requires parameters, a configuration form will appear. Fill in the required fields and confirm.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    A new workflow will be created with the template's pre-configured nodes and connections, and you will be taken to the visual canvas editor.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Review and customize the workflow:

    * Update the **workflow name** in the details panel.
    * Modify, add, or remove nodes as needed.
    * Update node configurations to match your specific requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Save** to save the workflow.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The workflow will be created in **Draft** status. When you have finished customizing it, [activate the workflow](/en/platform/lerian-console/flowker-console/activating-deactivating-workflow) to make it available for execution.

<Tip>
  Templates are a great way to get started quickly. You can always modify the template's nodes and connections after creating the workflow.
