# Running Workflows

> Execute workflows from The Assistant

Run any workflow directly from The Assistant using the `/` command or natural language.

## Using the / Command

Type `/` followed by the workflow name:

</Frame>

```
/meeting-prep

/weekly-planning

/company-deep-dive
```

As you type, Orbit suggests matching workflows.

## Adding Context

Combine workflows with tokens:

```
/meeting-prep for my 2pm meeting

/company-deep-dive #Acme Corp

/birthday-wishes @Sarah Chen

/person-research @John Smith
```

## Using Natural Language

Just describe what you want:

</Frame>

```
Prep me for my next meeting

Research Acme Corp

Draft a birthday message for Sarah

Plan my week
```

Orbit figures out which workflow to run.

## Workflow Output

When a workflow runs, you'll see:

1. **Progress indicator** — Shows it's working
2. **Results** — The output from the workflow
3. **Actions** — Things you can do with the output

</Frame>

## Saving Output

After a workflow runs, you can:

* **Copy** the output to clipboard
* **Save as workflow** to reuse later
* **Share** with others

## Chaining Workflows

Run one workflow after another:

```
/meeting-prep then /person-research for the main attendee
```

Or let Orbit chain them automatically based on context.

## Canceling

If a workflow is taking too long, click **Cancel** to stop it.
