Getting started

Learn how to get Elsa Workflows set up in your project in under ten minutes or it's free.

Craft workflows using C#

Workflows can be defined using plain C# code. In addition to an increasing number of activities that you can choose from, Elsa is designed to be extensible with your own custom activities.

public class HelloWorldWorkflow : IWorkflow
{
    public void Build(IWorkflowBuilder builder)
    {
        builder
            .StartWith<HelloWorld>()
            .Then<GoodByeWorld>();
    }
}

Short-running Workflows can be useful to implement a business rules engine, while long-running workflows greatly simplify the implementation of complex processes that involve coordinating between multiple agents (users & machines).

Design workflows using the Workflow Designer

The Workflow Designer is a 100% client-side web component that can be re-used in any application, and allows you to easily design workflows. Workflows can be exported as JSON files, which can then be executed using the Elsa Core API.
