Your First Workflow

Walk through a complete end-to-end example of delegating a task to Sidekick.

What you'll build#

In this tutorial, you'll ask Sidekick to draft an email, review the proposal, approve it, and see the full audit trail. This covers the core loop of every LumenFlow interaction.

Step 1: Open Sidekick#

Navigate to your workspace and click Sidekick in the sidebar. You'll see a chat interface — this is where you delegate tasks.

Step 2: Delegate a task#

Type a natural-language instruction:

Draft a follow-up email to the design team about the Q2 review.
Keep it brief and professional.

Sidekick will generate a proposal — a preview of the action it wants to take, including the full email text.

Step 3: Review and approve#

The proposal appears in your chat with options:

  • Approve — execute the action
  • Edit — modify the draft before approving
  • Reject — discard and try again

Click Approve to send the email.

Step 4: Check the audit trail#

Go to Observe → Activity in your workspace. You'll see:

info Every action Sidekick takes appears here — even auto-approved ones. Nothing happens in the dark.
