Creating an Orchestrate workflow

To create an Orchestrate workflow, head to the Orchestrate page in Straker Verify. 

There are a range of templates to choose from or alternatively, you can click Create Workflow to start.

Steps

  1. Start with AI Translation. Every new workflow must begin with the AI Translation action. To get started, drag the AI Translation action from the side panel onto the canvas. The other actions will remain disabled until you do so. Click on the action to configure it:
    • Source Language: Select a source language from the dropdown. This is optional and will default to auto-detect if nothing is selected.
    • Target Languages: Select one or more target languages from the dropdown.
  2. Add and Connect Actions. Drag other actions from the side panel and drop them near an existing action on the canvas to automatically connect them. The available actions are: Quality Boost, Quality Evaluation, Collaborate, Human Verification, and Publish Content. You can also manually manage connections by clicking on a connection line to delete it, then drawing a new line from one action to another.
  3. Configure Your Steps. Some actions require additional setup.
  4. Quality Boost, Quality Evaluation, Collaborate, Human Verification, and Publish Content are zero-configuration and require no setup. The Collaborate action must be configured:
    • Click on the Collaborate action to open its settings.
    • If you set target languages in the AI Translationstep, you will see a list of those languages. Simply select an editor for each one from the dropdown menu of users.
    • If you did not set target languages, you can add any editor and language combination here. This will allow the workflow to automatically route content if the language is chosen later at the project creation stage.
  5. Add Conditional Logic. To create branching paths based on rules, drag the Condition action from the side panel onto the canvas. Click on it to open the configuration panel where you can set your quality threshold:
    • In the first dropdown, choose a rule: "If overall quality is more than," "is less than," or "is".
    • In the second dropdown, choose a quality score. The options are Translation Memory, Best, Good, Acceptable, and Bad.
    • Remember, there is no automatic default or "fallback" route. You must set up a condition for every path you want your content to follow.
  6. Set a Token Threshold (Optional). To manage costs, you can set a token limit for your workflow.
    • Click the Set Token Threshold button, located on the top right of the page.
    • In the modal that appears, enter a maximum token amount and select an Admin user from the dropdown list to act as the approver.
  7. Publish Your Workflow. Your workflow is not active until it has been published.
    • Click the Publish Workflow button.
    • A modal will appear prompting you to Name Your Workflow. Enter a unique name.
    • Click Publish. Your workflow is now saved, active, and ready to process content.

 

FAQs / Troubleshooting

  • Saving Your Work: Your workflow exists in a draft state while you are building it. It is not saved until you click "Publish." Navigating away from the page before publishing will result in your changes being lost.
  • Updating Workflows: If you edit and publish a workflow while jobs are in progress, those jobs will run to completion using the old version of the workflow logic. All new jobs will use your updated workflow.
  • Reconnecting Actions: When you delete an action that is between two other actions (e.g., step B from A → B → C), the connection is broken. You will need to manually reconnect the remaining actions (A → C).
  • Check Your Logic: The system allows you to set up conflicting conditional rules. It's a good practice to double-check your conditions to ensure your workflow behaves exactly as you intend.
  • Using Templates: You can also get started quickly by creating a workflow from a pre-built template. Simply choose a template and save it as your own new workflow.
  • Q: Why can't I add actions to the canvas? Everything except AI Translation is disabled.
    • A: Every workflow must begin with the AI Translation action. Once you drag that onto the canvas, all other actions will become available to add to your workflow.
  • Q: My workflow stopped running unexpectedly. What's wrong?
    • A: Your workflow may have exceeded its pre-set token limit and is now paused until an administrator approves the additional cost. The designated approver has been sent an email to approve the continuation of the workflow.
  • Q: I edited my published workflow, but my active jobs are still using the old logic. Why?
    • A: Changes to a workflow only apply to new jobs started after you publish the update. Any jobs that were already running when the changes were published will continue to run to completion using the previous version of the workflow logic.
  • Q: I built a new workflow, but left the page and now all my work is gone. What happened?
    • A: Your workflow is only saved when you click "Publish" and give it a name. If you navigate away from the page before publishing, your draft is discarded and the work is lost.
