Workflows and execution

This section covers advanced implementation details for agent-backed scopes. You’ll learn how the nullplatform agent communicates with your runner, how to define workflows for your scope’s actions, and how to debug or override them if needed.

Tip: Most users don’t need to start here. If you’re using a production-ready scope from our how-to guides, things like runners and channels are already configured for you.

What you’ll find here

• Set up a notification channel
  Configure how nullplatform sends scope service actions to your runner.

• Run a scope service workflow
  Learn how to define and execute workflows that respond to scope actions using Bash, scripts, or YAML.

When should you use these?

This content is especially useful if:

• You're creating a custom runner for your agent-backed scope
• You want full control over the execution behavior of actions like create, start_blue_green, or delete
• You’re debugging scope workflows locally
• You want to merge, skip, or replace steps in your workflow dynamically

If none of that applies to you, you can likely skip this section and head straight to the how-to guides.
