WordPress steps run inside WordPress, on your own server. FlowWP only contacts an outside service when you add a connection to one or use a step that needs it.
Nothing runs until you activate a workflow, and every run is recorded step by step.
Templates
Trigger: An order is paid (WooCommerce)Orders over 500 go to someone who can give them extra care. Change the amount to suit your store.
Trigger: A WPForms form is submitted (WPForms)
Action: Ask AI (AI)Every message is read by AI and filed as a question, a complaint or a sales lead, then passed to whoever handles that. Spam is recognised and dropped quietly.

Trigger: A user is created (WordPress)Send every new account a friendly welcome, addressed by name.
