Short answer

How can I track my Yida workflow status with AI?

Your AI uses Yida tools to pull live lists of active workflows and specific timelines for individual requests. You get a clear view of where any request sits and who has touched it. This breakdown shows you exactly how the data moves from your agent to your screen.

Where your updates land.

The outcomes of your status checks.

The AI organizes the data it pulls from Yida into these specific results.

LIVE

Current request status

The AI identifies exactly which stage a specific request is in. You see the immediate position of a workflow without opening Yida.

HISTORY

Full approval audit

Your agent pulls the complete timeline of every action taken on a request. You get a clear record of who approved what and when.

LISTS

Active workflow overview

The AI generates a summary of all running workflows. This helps you spot bottlenecks or pending items across the whole system.

ACTION

Human intervention needed

When a workflow hits a snag or requires a manual decision, the AI flags it. You decide when to step in and move things forward.

The workflow

What your AI does when a status check arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Yida database.

  1. Identify workflows

    The AI scans your Yida environment to find the specific processes you are asking about.

  2. Fetch request details

    Once it finds the right workflow, the AI pulls the specific data for that individual instance.

  3. Analyze progress

    The agent compares the current state against the expected path to see if things are on track.

    get_instance_timeline

  4. Report findings
