Important

  • You can create no more than 20 custom workflows per space and up to 10000 space workflows per account.

  • Space custom workflows can be used within the specifc space only. However, they are visible to all users in the account who have access to the space.

  • An account-wide workflow can't be turned into a space workflow. But a space workflow can be converted to an account-wide one.

  • In a locked space, you can add as assignees upon status change only users from this space.

  • Space workflows can be used only in Request forms and automation rules created from the same space.
