Install the EditorOps extension. Get the latest EditorOps extension from the Visual Studio Code marketplace. It's fast and easy.
Automate your workflows. Choose your triggers and actions to control your workflows. Get started with automations for Slack, Google Calendar, and more.
Build custom workflows. Trigger custom actions by writing your own scripts. Explore and remix workflows from the community.

Creating Workflows

To create your first workflow, select the EditorOps icon in the sidebar. Follow the instructions in your editor to create a Software account to get started. Once you've created an account, return to your code editor and you will be signed into your new account.

You can create automations using built-in templates, which allow you to get started using popular workflows. Currently, there are two templates available. Flow Mode Enabled turns on Slack's Do Not Disturb and sets a custom status message when you're in flow. Flow Mode Disabled resets these Slack settings.

You can also design your own workflows by selecting triggers and actions. To create a custom workflow from scratch, click + Add in the EditorOps sidebar.
