   • You can either open an existing workflow to modify it, or
   • Create a new workflow by clicking on the appropriate button

5. Access the Workflow Builder

   • In the workflow builder, you’ll see a canvas where you can drag and drop actions

6. Add the ‘Parallel Start’ Action

   • From the list of available actions, find the ‘Parallel Start’ action
   • Drag and drop this action onto your workflow canvas
   • Connect it to the preceding action in your workflow

7. Add Parallel Actions

   • Now, you can start adding different actions that you want to run in parallel
   • Drag and drop these actions onto the canvas
   • Connect each of these actions to the ‘Parallel Start’ action
     

8. Add the ‘Parallel End’ Action

   • After adding all your parallel actions, find the ‘Parallel End’ action
   • Drag and drop this onto the canvas
   • Connect all your parallel actions to this ‘Parallel End’ action
     

9. Continue Your Workflow

   • After the ‘Parallel End’ action, you can continue adding more actions to your workflow as needed

Important Notes

• Ensure that all actions within the parallel section are properly connected to both the ‘Parallel Start’ and ‘Parallel End’ actions
• The workflow will wait for all parallel actions to complete before moving to the next Action after ‘Parallel End’
• Be mindful of dependencies between actions when setting up parallel workflows
• Test your parallel workflow thoroughly to ensure all actions are executing as expected
