# See every automation on the Workflows page — and what starts each one

> SkedX Flow’s Workflows page (Automation → Workflows, https://flow.skode.ai/automation) lists every automation, including the ones that only another automation starts — their start is “When another automation calls this one”, and they are run by a “Start another automation” step. Each of those rows carries a line “↳ Started by <automation name>”; when several automations start it, the line names the first and adds “+N more”, and pointing at the line shows every name. A row that reads “Starts when another automation runs it — none does yet” is not started by anything: open it, add a Start another automation step to the automation that should start it, or delete it. The WORKFLOWS tile counts every automation, drafts included; the ACTIVE tile counts the ones that are on, which is the number the plan card in the sidebar shows (for example “Workflows 90% used · 9 of 10 · Move to Starter”). Every automation that is on counts on the plan, including the ones another automation starts; drafts are free. When the plan is full, automations that are on keep running, and turning on another is refused until you move to a bigger plan or turn one off.

A big automation is often built as pieces: one starts on a new message, then hands over to Welcome, Menu, Checkout with a **Start another automation** step. Each piece is its own automation and counts on your plan, so the Workflows page shows every one of them and says what starts it. About two minutes.

## Step 1: Open Workflows and read the totals

Go to **Automation -> Workflows**. **Workflows** counts every automation, drafts included. **Active** counts the ones that are on — the same number your plan counts. Every automation is listed, including the ones another automation starts: they carry a **Started by** line under their name.

## Step 2: See what starts each one

**↳ Started by** names the automation whose **Start another automation** step runs this one. When several start it, the line names the first and adds **+2 more**. On a computer, point at the line to read every name; on a phone the line wraps to two lines so the name stays readable.

## Step 3: When it says “none does yet”

**Starts when another automation runs it — none does yet** means nothing starts this automation, so it never runs. Open the automation that should start it and add a **Start another automation** step pointing at it — or, if you no longer need it, delete it. If it is on, it still counts on your plan until you turn it off or delete it.

## Step 4: Check your plan

The card at the bottom of the sidebar shows how much of your plan’s automations you use — **Workflows 90% used**, **9 of 10** — counting every automation that is on, including the ones another automation starts. Drafts are free. **Move to Starter** opens the bigger plan. When the plan is full, it says Workflows that are on keep running; turning on another needs the plan above.

## Common questions

### Why does my plan count more automations than I built?

Because each piece of a chain is its own automation. If one automation starts Welcome, which starts Menu, which starts Checkout, that is four automations, and every one that is on counts. The **Active** tile on the Workflows page shows the same number as the plan card.

### Does a draft count on my plan?

No. Only automations that are on count. A draft shows in the **Workflows** tile and in the list, but not in **Active** or on the plan card — build as many drafts as you like.

### What does “none does yet” mean, and what should I do?

Nothing starts that automation, so it never runs. Open the automation that should start it and add a **Start another automation** step that points at it; or open it to check what it does; or delete it if you no longer need it. While it is on, it counts on your plan.

### My plan is full. What happens?

Automations that are on keep running. Turning on another one is refused until you click **Move to Starter** for a bigger plan, or turn off one you no longer need. Saving drafts still works.

### Can I see every automation that starts this one?

Yes — on a computer, point at the **Started by** line and every name shows. You can also open each automation and look for its **Start another automation** step.
