A workflow needs a name a stranger could read

Name your workflows the way you'd label a folder for someone who has never met you — plainly, by what it does, not by the tool that runs it. "Send welcome message when new client signs" beats a name like "flow three."

This matters more than it sounds like it should. A workflow you built will still be running long after you've forgotten the details, and I've opened my own workflows months later with no idea what a vague name was for, forced to click in just to remember. A clear name also means a teammate or a person you hire later can scan a list of workflows and understand your whole setup without asking you a single question.

Good naming is a small habit that pays off every time something breaks and you're hunting for the cause under pressure.

Try this today: open your workflow list and rename anything that doesn't tell you what it does in plain words.
