Workflows
Build custom commerce interactions. Integrate your systems. Automate your operations. Workflows orchestrate actions across your stack with built-in retries and rollbacks.
A Workflow Step performs a query or action in a system. Steps can receive inputs from previous steps and return data to be used in subsequent steps. You can resolve services in your steps allowing to quickly build business logic involving Medusa's core commerce modules or your 3rd party or custom systems.
To connect multiple steps together you create a Workflow. Creating a Workflow is like writing any other function. Behind the scenes Medusa generates a representation of your workflow that enables automatic retries of steps if they fail.
If step retries don't succeed, Medusa will rollback previous steps. A rollback will call a step's compensation method, ensuring your data is kept consistent across systems.
You can trigger your workflows anywhere in Medusa. Use your workflows in API Routes to start them in response to an API request or webhook. Start them in response to events with Subscribers. Or have them run on a defined schedule with Jobs.
