# Define workflow settings

When creating a workflow, you need to define each section: 

* [Trigger settings](/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/define-workflow-settings/trigger-settings.md)
* [Action settings](/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/define-workflow-settings/action-settings.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
Workflow settings are now simplified. DoControl gives you a range of [predefined triggers ](/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/define-workflow-settings/trigger-settings.md)to choose from, that already include events and pre-populated conditions. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

* The workflow may fail to execute if the settings are defined incorrectly, such as when entering an email that doesn't exist (in the email notification action). See [Error handling](/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/define-workflow-settings/error-handling.md).
* Each workflow is limited to 10,000 executions in a calendar month, after which the workflow will stop executing. DoControl will notify you when this happens, and you can contact <support@docontrol.io> for more details. The limit may be reached too early when the triggering condition is not specific enough.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/workflows/define-workflow-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
