As we work on updates, you can possibly see references to both Agentforce Operations and Agentforce Supply Chain. Agentforce Operations automates repetitive work, routes tasks to the right people or AI agents, and tracks progress from start to finish. Build process templates called blueprints one time, then run them as many times as needed as automated workflows. Blueprints organize work into stages and tasks. Assign tasks to people or AI agents, and collect information at each step. New to Agentforce Operations?

For a deeper look at what Agentforce Operations does and who uses it, see [About Agentforce Operations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_afsc_about.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Agentforce Operations is a workflow automation platform where you design, run, and track structured business processes. Teams complete tasks by using email, a web form, or the workspace. AI agents can handle specialized tasks automatically."). ## What You Can Do Agentforce Operations combines automation, collaboration, and AI to streamline your business processes: - Blueprints: Create reusable templates with stages, tasks, and conditional logic. Blueprints define the structure one. Then you can run that structured process many times with different data by starting workflows from the blueprint.

Learn more in [Run Workflows in Agentforce Operations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_afsc_working_with_workflows.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Workflows are the running instance of your process that move through stages and tasks until they complete. Most workflows run from blueprints, but you can also create them directly.

Add stages to organize work into phases, and add tasks within each stage. You can assign tasks to people, teams, roles, or AI agents. Configure when tasks start, when they're due, what information they collect, and what happens when they complete. After your blueprint is ready, publish it and start running workflows from it. Each workflow is an instance of the blueprint running with specific data.
