# What is a Workflow?

It’s essentially a scheduled pipeline. A **workflow** is a configured sequence that first runs extractions for a set of sources, then runs the transformation scripts once the data is loaded. Instead of manually running dozens of jobs, a workflow automates the entire daily (or hourly) update process.
