# Templates

> Start from a pre-built workflow instead of a blank canvas. Templates land as a disabled draft so you can wire in your own connections and secrets first.

# Templates

Templates are ready-made workflows you can start from instead of building on a blank canvas. Each one is a validated graph covering a common pattern — you fill in your own connections, secrets, and endpoints, then publish.

## Using a Template

1. In **Workflows**, click **Templates** (or **New from template**).
2. Browse the gallery and open a template to preview its nodes.
3. Click **Use this template**.

The template is created as a new workflow **in a disabled draft**:

* **Disabled** — it won't run until you review and enable it, so a half-configured template never fires by accident.
* **Draft** — it opens in the builder for you to customize before publishing.

## Customizing After Import

Before enabling, replace the template's placeholders with your own values:

1. **Connections** — point any app-connector nodes at your [Connections](/workflows/connections).
2. **Secrets** — swap placeholder credentials for `{{secrets.NAME}}` references.
3. **Endpoints & fields** — set real URLs, recipients, and body fields.
4. **Trigger** — configure the [trigger](/workflows/triggers) (schedule, webhook, app event, …).

Run it manually (or test individual nodes) to confirm it behaves as expected, then **Publish** and toggle **Enabled**.

## Plan & Limits

Creating from a template counts toward your plan's workflow entitlements (the same limits as building one by hand). If you're at your workflow limit, the import is blocked until you free a slot or upgrade.
