Getting Started with GloriaMundo

Welcome to GloriaMundo Agent Builder. This guide walks you through creating your first AI-powered workflow, connecting the services you use, previewing what will happen, and running your automation with confidence.


Prerequisites

Before you begin:

  • A GloriaMundo account (you can sign in with Google)
  • At least one connected service (you can connect as you build)

For billing, plans, and any trial details, see Billing & Credits.


1. Understanding the Presets

GloriaMundo offers four presets that balance speed and thoroughness when generating and refining workflows. You can switch presets at any time; the new preset takes effect the next time you generate or update a workflow.

Best for: Most users β€” let GloriaMundo decide.

  • Automatically routes between Quick and Smart based on the complexity of your prompt
  • Simple requests get fast responses; complex ones get deeper reasoning
  • The default for new accounts

⚑ Quick

Best for: Fast, single-app automations you need right now.

  • Fast workflow drafts with minimal overhead
  • Great for simple trigger β†’ action patterns

Example prompt:

Send me a Slack message with today's date

🧠 Smart

Best for: Multi-step workflows that connect different apps.

  • Strong quality for workflows with logic, multiple steps, and connected services
  • More deliberate workflow generation and refinement than Quick

Example prompt:

Every morning, check my Gmail for emails from my boss and summarize them in Slack

πŸ‘‘ Ultimate

Best for: Maximum thoroughness for critical workflows.

  • Best for workflows where you want the most careful plan and review
  • Great when you expect ambiguity, many steps, or sensitive write actions

Example prompt:

Research competitors mentioned in my recent emails, create a report with their
latest news and funding status, and save it to Google Drive

See Presets for more guidance on choosing the right tier.


2. Creating Your First Workflow

Let's create a simple workflow step by step.

Step 1: Navigate to Agent Builder

From your dashboard, click Agent Builder or go directly to the main chat interface.

Tip: If you’re brand new, the builder includes an interactive tutorial and demo workflows you can load onto the canvas to learn by example.

Step 2: Select Your Preset

Choose a preset from the preset selector. Auto is the default and works well for most workflows β€” it picks the right speed and depth for each prompt.

Step 3: Describe Your Automation

In the chat input, type:

Send me a Slack message with today's date

Press Enter or click Send.

Step 4: Review the Proposed Workflow

Within seconds, GloriaMundo proposes a workflow. You’ll see a clear summary of:

πŸ“‹ Proposed Workflow

Trigger: Manual (run it when you want)
Steps: A short step-by-step plan of what will happen

GloriaMundo is intentionally opinionated: it makes sensible defaults quickly, then gives you the chance to refine anything that matters.

Step 5: Approve or Modify

You have three options:

  • Approve β€” Click "Create Workflow" to save it
  • Modify β€” Ask the agent to adjust ("Use #daily-standup channel instead")
  • Cancel β€” Start over with a different prompt

3. Connecting Your First Service

Workflows need connected services to execute actions. GloriaMundo supports OAuth-based connections for many apps, and can also support API key setup for some services.

Automatic Detection

When you create a workflow requiring a service you haven't connected, the agent detects this automatically:

⚠️ Slack is required for this workflow but not connected.

[Connect Slack] β€” Click to authorize

Connecting a Service

  1. Click the connection link
  2. A new window opens with the service’s authorization page
  3. Authorize GloriaMundo
  4. You return to GloriaMundo and the connection is confirmed βœ…

Service Selection

Some capabilities have multiple service options. For example, "send email" can use Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid, or others. When multiple options exist, the agent asks which you prefer β€” and remembers your choice for future workflows.

(Optional) Projects and Documents

If your workflow should follow internal docs, SOPs, brand tone, or client-specific context, create a Project and upload relevant documents. Then select that project while building so the workflow is generated with the right constraints and language.

See Knowledge Base.


4. Preview with Virtual Run

Before executing a workflow, use Virtual Run: a preview that shows what will happen step-by-step, including generated outputs and any external effects that would occur in a live run.

The Virtual Run displays:

  • Step-by-step execution β€” each action in order
  • Generated content β€” the actual email text, Slack messages, etc.
  • Write-action warnings β€” flags on actions that send, delete, create, or modify external data
  • Cost preview β€” an estimate of what the real execution is expected to consume

See Virtual Run Preview for details.


5. Executing the Workflow

Once you've reviewed the Virtual Run and you're confident:

Manual Execution

  1. Open your workflow from the Workflows dashboard
  2. Click Run Now
  3. Watch execution progress in real time

Scheduled Execution

For recurring workflows:

  1. Open your workflow
  2. Set the trigger to Scheduled (Cron)
  3. Choose your schedule (e.g., "Every day at 9:00 AM")
  4. Save β€” your workflow now runs automatically

Webhook Triggers

Trigger workflows from external services via HTTP POST. See Webhook Triggers.


6. Viewing Run History

From the Workflows dashboard and Action Log you can:

  • View all past executions with step-by-step logs
  • See success/failure status for each step
  • Re-run workflows after fixing issues (like a missing connection)
  • Edit and enhance existing workflows
  • Toggle workflows on/off

Next Steps

  • Presets β€” Choose the right preset for your workflow
  • Workflow Enhancement β€” Upgrade workflows with error handling
  • Settings β€” Configure memory, safety controls, spending limits, and preferences
  • Connecting Services β€” Connect apps and manage permissions (800+ supported connections)
