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 Credits & Costs.

1. Understanding Workflow Modes

GloriaMundo uses workflow modes to decide which execution tier a workflow should use. New builds use your account default automatically. If you have not changed it in Settings, that default is Balanced.

After a workflow is saved, you can leave it on Default to inherit that account setting or override it from the Workflows dashboard. The available labels are Default, Economy, Balanced, Ultimate, and Custom.

Economy

Use Economy when you want the lowest-cost execution tier for straightforward work.

Example prompt: 

Send me a Slack message with today's date

Balanced

Use Balanced for most workflows. It is the default account mode and the best fit for typical multi-step automations.

Example prompt: 

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

Ultimate

Use Ultimate when the workflow is more demanding and you want the highest-capability execution tier.

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

Custom

Use Custom when you want to control the exposed execution models yourself in Settings.

See Workflow Modes & Model Tiers for the full detail.

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: Start from Your Default Mode

For new builds, the builder uses your account default mode automatically. If you have not changed it, that default is Balanced. You do not need to choose a mode before describing the workflow.

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:

📋 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 — Click "Create Workflow" to save it
  • Modify — Ask the agent to adjust ("Use #daily-standup channel instead")
  • Cancel — 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] — Click to authorize

Connecting a Service

  1. Click the connection link
  2. A new window opens with the service’s authorisation page
  3. Authorise GloriaMundo
  4. You return to GloriaMundo and the connection is confirmed ✅

Service Selection

Some capabilities have multiple service options. For example, "send email" can use Gmail, SendGrid, or others. When multiple options exist, the agent asks which you prefer — 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 — each action in order
  • Generated content — the actual email text, Slack messages, etc.
  • Write-action warnings — flags on actions that send, delete, create, or modify external data
  • Cost preview — 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 — your workflow now runs automatically

Webhook Triggers

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

Event Triggers

If the service already offers the event you need, use an event trigger instead of polling on a schedule.

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
