Give every workflow step a plain label

Rename every step inside your workflows so it says what it actually does — "send confirmation email" instead of whatever generic name the tool gave it by default. This tiny habit saves real time the next time you or anyone else opens the workflow to fix something.

Default names are built for the tool's own bookkeeping, not for a human trying to understand a chain of ten steps at a glance. I check for this the moment something breaks, because I want to scan the list and immediately know which step is the likely cause, not click into each one just to figure out what it does. Clear labels turn a workflow from a mystery box into something closer to a readable recipe.

This costs almost no extra time while building and pays off every single time you or someone else has to troubleshoot later.

Try this today: open your busiest workflow and rename any step whose label doesn't tell you what it actually does.
