# Build from a prompt

> Start from a ready-made template in our prompts library and customize from there.

Prompts are pre-written workflow templates. Pick one close to what you want, click **Create workflow**, and customize. Faster than starting from scratch.

## Browse the library

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the [Prompts library](/prompts) and filter by integration or use case.
    Inside the app, the same library lives under **Prompts** in the sidebar.
  </Step>
  <Step>
    Open any prompt to see what it does and which credentials it needs.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Callout type="tip">
  Even prompts that aren't exactly what you need are useful starting points.
  It's easier to delete steps than to write them from scratch.

## Create the workflow

Click **Create workflow** on the prompt. Sign in if prompted, then the prompt opens in the workflow editor pre-populated.

## Connect missing credentials

Each credential chip the prompt needs shows its connection state. Click any unconnected chip to authorize it inline.

## Customize and enable

  <Step>
    Edit parameter chips to set defaults like channel names, recipients, or
