Short answer

Can I turn workflows on and off using my AI?

Yes. You can use your AI to see all active automations and toggle their status instantly. This gives you a way to pause or resume specific tasks through simple chat commands.

Control outcomes

Manage your automation state.

Your AI handles the status changes so you don't have to hunt through settings menus.

ACTIVE

Running automations

The AI identifies which workflows are currently live. You get a clear view of what is running in the background.

PAUSED

Stopped workflows

You can halt any process immediately. This prevents unwanted actions while you make changes or troubleshoot.

RECOVERY

Resuming tasks

Once you are ready, tell your AI to turn a process back on. It restores the automation to its previous state.

MANUAL

Human oversight

The AI won't delete your workflows. You retain full ownership and must decide when to remove a process entirely.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a status change.

The AI acts as a remote control for your automation engine.

  1. Audit current state

    The AI looks up every automation you have set up to see what is active.

    list_workflows

  2. Stop a process

    When you tell the AI to stop a specific task, it shuts that automation down.

    disable_workflow

  3. Restart a process

    You can tell the AI to reactivate a previously disabled automation.

    enable_workflow

  4. Confirm changes

    The AI checks the updated list to ensure the status change actually took effect.

    list_workflows

FAQ

How the status management works

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my workflows?

    No. The AI can only enable or disable existing workflows. You must handle deletions manually.

  • 02

    Will the AI change the settings inside a workflow?

    No. The AI only manages whether a workflow is active or inactive. It cannot modify the logic or triggers within the automation.

  • 03

    How do I know if a workflow was successfully disabled?

    You can ask the AI to list your workflows again to verify the status has changed.

  • 04

    Can I enable multiple workflows at once?

    You can ask the AI to enable them one by one or list them all to confirm their status.

  • 05

    Does the AI need my login credentials?

    No. Vinkius manages the connection securely so your AI client can communicate with the Workload service without seeing your passwords.
