Important Starting in Winter ’23, you can’t create new workflow rules. You can still activate, deactivate, and edit any existing workflow rules. To migrate existing workflow rules, use the [Migrate to Flow tool](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_migrate_to_flow.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use the Migrate to Flow tool to convert your Process Builder processes and workflow rules into Flow Builder, including scheduled actions. The tool also supports partial migration of processes for most actions."). For new automations, create flows in [Flow Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Automation reduces repetitive work and helps your team complete tasks faster and more accurately. With Flow Builder, you can build simple or complex automations, forms, and guided experiences with no code. You can add forms to Salesforce pages and Experience sites, and launch flows using buttons, record triggers, or schedules.").

Before you begin, create:

- An autolaunched flow
- A workflow rule
- A flow trigger that launches the autolaunched flow

1. From Setup, enter Workflow Rules in the Quick Find box, then select **Workflow Rules**.
2. Select the workflow rule.
3. Click **Edit** in the Workflow Actions section.
4. In the Immediate Workflow Actions section, click **Add Workflow Action** | **Select Existing Action**.
    
    Flow triggers aren’t available as time-dependent workflow actions. You can add flow triggers to workflow rules only as immediate workflow actions.
5. In the Search dropdown list, select Flow Trigger.
    
    The Available Actions box lists all existing flow triggers.
6. Select the flow trigger to associate with this workflow rule. Move the flow trigger to Selected Actions by using the right arrow.
7. Click **Save**.
