Workflow recipes for your business

Practical guides to combining Command Center features and plugins for industry-specific workflows.

Updated September 19, 2026 2 min read

A customer inquiry, a project kickoff and an overdue invoice each need several parts of your business to work together. These recipes show how to combine existing Command Center features and plugins around one useful result, with the records and responsibilities kept connected.

Choose the situation closest to your work. Each guide explains what to enable, which records you need, what to do and how to check the saved result. Business owners can use the steps to run a first example; builders can use the adaptation section to decide what configuration covers and what needs a source extension.

Start with a complete example

Try the roofing inquiry recipe to connect intake with follow-up, or client engagement onboarding to turn won work into assigned tasks. Both show how a shared customer record carries context between features.

For a custom process, read Build an extension alongside your chosen recipe. Plugins add business behavior; connectors provide access to an external service. Enable the required plugins and verify the specific connections before using real records.

What to check

These are actionable guides, not one-click installers. Matching demos use fictional records and simulated actions. Industries without a dedicated demo use the same shared capabilities, with their adaptation steps explained in the guide. Confirm the setup, permissions and saved result for your own workspace before relying on a workflow.
