Who This Is For / When to Use

This article is for Kyrios users who want to launch workflows faster by using proven, pre-built automation templates instead of building workflows from scratch.

What Workflow Recipes Are

Workflow Recipes are reusable, pre-configured workflow templates designed for common automation scenarios.

Recipes provide:

  • A fully built workflow structure

  • Pre-connected actions and conditions

  • Editable steps that can be customized before publishing

Recipes are optional and do not limit customization. Every recipe can be modified, expanded, or simplified after loading.

Ways to Create a New Workflow

Kyrios provides multiple ways to start building a workflow.

You can create a workflow by:

  • Starting from a Recipe (template)

  • Starting from scratch with a blank workflow

  • Importing steps from an existing campaign

How to Start a Workflow Using a Recipe

Starting from a recipe loads a complete automation into the Workflow Builder.

To start from a recipe:

  1. Go to AutomationWorkflows.

  2. Click Create Workflow.

  3. Select Start from Recipe.

  4. Browse the available recipes.

  5. Click a recipe to highlight it.

  6. Click + Create new workflow.

What Happens After You Select a Recipe

Once a recipe is applied, it opens directly in the Workflow Builder.

After the recipe loads:

  • All actions and conditions are visible

  • The workflow is saved as Draft by default

  • Any step can be edited, moved, copied, or removed

Customizing a Workflow Recipe

Workflow Recipes are fully editable before publishing.

You can customize a recipe by:

  • Editing message content (Email, SMS, Voicemail)

  • Changing wait times or conditions

  • Adding or removing actions

  • Reordering steps

Customizations do not affect the original recipe template.

Saving and Publishing a Recipe-Based Workflow

Recipes must be saved and published to run.

To activate a workflow:

  1. Click Save in the top-right corner.

  2. Confirm the workflow is set to Draft.

  3. Toggle Publish to enable the workflow.

  4. Optionally click Test Workflow before publishing.

Common Workflow Recipes Available

Kyrios provides recipes for multiple automation use cases.

Common recipes include:

  • Appointment Booking — Detects intent and sends booking links or manual follow-up prompts

  • Appointment Confirmation + Reminder — Confirms appointments and sends reminders

  • Appointment Confirmation + Reminder + Survey + Review Request — Automates post-appointment feedback and reviews

Understanding the Fast Five Recipe

The Fast Five recipe is designed to engage new leads immediately after opt-in.

The workflow typically includes:

  1. Confirmation Email — Confirms the lead action

  2. Confirmation SMS — Reinforces engagement via text

  3. Wait and Reply Detection — Evaluates lead response

  4. Call Connect — Automatically attempts a live call

  5. Voicemail Drop — Sends a voicemail if the call is not answered

Each step can be edited or removed based on business needs.

Common Issues and Fixes

I do not see the Recipe option when creating a workflow

This occurs when the dropdown is not expanded.

Fix: Click Create Workflow and ensure the dropdown menu is visible before selecting a start option.

My recipe is not running after creation

Recipes load in Draft mode by default.

Fix: Click Save, then toggle the workflow to Published.

I changed a recipe and broke the workflow logic

Recipes do not enforce logic validation.

Fix: Review conditions, branches, and wait steps before publishing and use Test Workflow when available.
