Create a Workflow Studio component to automate a workflow.

Workflow Studio allows you to create and manage workflow components.

[Building flows](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1Zr8_z4e1r1k~8vdVY5djg "Workflow Studio is the default ServiceNow AI Platform process automation builder used to create flows. Workflow Studio replaces the Workflow Editor.")
:   Flows automate a repeatable multi-step process. When the flow trigger conditions are met, the flow runs a sequence of reusable actions and flow logic to complete the process.

[Building subflows](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ipn3qH_ylPXhMLYVJU4i9w "Workflow Studio is the default ServiceNow AI Platform process automation builder used to create subflows. Workflow Studio replaces the Workflow Editor.")
:   Subflows automate a repeatable multi-step process that also produces an output needed by another process. When a playbook, flow, or script calls a subflow, the subflow runs a sequence of reusable actions and flow logic to complete the process and produce output values.

[Building actions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fFbkY1s4Wv2dWaWLGKMZzQ "Workflow Studio is the default ServiceNow AI Platform process automation builder used to create actions. Workflow Studio replaces the Workflow Editor.")
:   Actions automate a repeatable task or operation within a flow. Flows run actions by passing them data as inputs. Actions run a sequence of steps to complete the task, and pass data to the flow as outputs.
