Profound Sheets lets you run Workflows (Workflow Agents) across large sets of inputs simultaneously. Rather than triggering Workflows one input at a time, Sheets lets you process hundreds or thousands of inputs in parallel.

​
Adding a Workflow Agent to a Sheet

To add a Workflow to a Sheet:
  1. Click + Add Column next to the last used column header in the header row.
  2. From the column type menu, select Agent.
  3. In the Add an Agent dialog, select which Workflow Agent you want to run or create a new one.
  4. Follow the prompts to configure Workflow Agent inputs and output columns and add them to the Sheet.
The Workflow Agent column appears in the Sheet grid alongside your other columns. Each row in that column displays a Run button, indicating the Workflow is ready to process that row’s input when triggered.

Run a Workflow from a Sheet

​
Single run

To run a Workflow on a single row, click the Run button within that row’s Workflow Agent column cell. The Workflow processes that row’s input and returns its output directly in the cell once complete.

Single runs are useful for testing your Workflow Agent setup on a specific input before committing to a full column run.

​
Bulk run

To run the Workflow Agent across all rows at once, click Run at the top of the Workflow Agent column header. This triggers the Workflow for every row with input data in the Sheet simultaneously, processing all inputs in parallel. Monitor progress as individual cells update their status in real time, moving from Run to a running state, then to Completed as each Workflow finishes.
Workflows only run when the necessary inputs are present. For example, if you have 100 rows but only 13 contain the necessary inputs, the Workflow runs for those 13 rows only.

​
Handle outputs

Once a Workflow Agent run is complete, its output appears in the output cell for that row (configured in the Add an Agent dialog). Add a separate Text or Long text column alongside the Workflow Agent column to capture, label, or annotate those outputs. To use Workflow Agent outputs downstream, reference that column’s values as inputs in other columns or workflows.
