Running Workflows

You can run Scout workflows from the UI, API and SDK depending on your use case.

Run Options

Console (fastest for development)

Use Console when you are building, testing and debugging.

API and SDK (best for production systems)

Use API or SDK when external apps, automations or backend services need to trigger runs.

Embedded and integration surfaces

Workflows can also run through products like Copilot and Slack integrations when configured.

API Run Example

curl -X POST "https://api.scoutos.com/v2/workflows/{workflow_id}/execute?environment=production" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCOUT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "inputs": {
      "user_message": "Generate a weekly summary"
    },
    "streaming": false
  }'

Run Strategy

• Use development for active build and debugging
• Use staging for pre-production validation
• Use production for user-facing traffic

Next Steps

• Console: Test quickly in the workflow UI
• Environments: Deploy safely across stages
• Logs: Inspect run status, duration and failures
