# Creating Workflows

> Create a workflow from a blank canvas or a pre-built template — both paths start from the + New Workflow button in Flowker.

Flowker offers two paths to create a workflow: start from a blank canvas and build your logic from scratch, or pick a pre-built template and customize it. Both paths begin from the same entry point — the **+ New Workflow** button on the Workflows page.

## How it works

***

When you click **+ New Workflow**, the **Workflow Templates** modal opens. From there, you choose your starting point:

* **Blank Workflow** — an empty canvas where you define every trigger, executor, and conditional node yourself.
* **Template** — a pre-configured workflow with nodes and connections already in place, ready to be adapted to your use case.

Every new workflow starts in **Draft** status. You can design, test, and iterate before [activating it](/en/platform/lerian-console/flowker-console/activating-deactivating-workflow) for production use.
