Connect, describe, approve, monitor.
Sieving is designed to take repetitive admin off your hands while keeping you in control. Here’s what will happen at each step, and the safeguard each step will have.
01 / 04
Connect your tools
Link the apps your business already runs on, through each provider’s official sign-in.
What you’ll do
- Choose an app and sign in on the provider’s own page.
- See exactly what access Sieving is asking for, and why, before you agree.
What Sieving will do
- Ask only for the access your workflows need.
- Keep each connection’s credentials encrypted on its servers, never in your browser.
- Show every connection’s status, and tell you when one needs reconnecting.
Safeguard: Sieving won’t ask for your app passwords. You’ll be able to disconnect an app at any time, and the workflows that use it will pause.
02 / 04
Describe what to automate
Start from a template, or explain the job in your own words.
What you’ll do
- Pick an outcome, such as “record payments” or “notify my team”, or describe the task in everyday language.
- Answer any questions about details Sieving couldn’t work out.
What Sieving will do
- Draft a workflow: the trigger, each step, and how information moves between your apps.
- Use only actions that Sieving supports and your connections allow.
- Explain the draft in plain language.
Safeguard: A draft will be a proposal, not something that runs, and it’ll be checked against fixed rules before you see it.
03 / 04
Review, test and switch on
See what a workflow will do before it does anything.
What you’ll do
- Check the trigger, the apps and fields involved, how often it runs, the access it uses and what it changes.
- Run it with sample data and look at the result.
- Switch it on when you’re happy.
What Sieving will do
- Validate every step and field before the workflow can be switched on.
- Flag steps that reach your customers, so you can require approval for them.
Safeguard: Workflows will stay off until you switch them on, and messages to customers can wait for sign-off every time.
04 / 04
Monitor outcomes
Follow every run in one place, and know straight away when something needs you.
What you’ll do
- See what succeeded, what failed and what’s waiting for you.
- Fix a problem and retry, or pause a workflow at any time.
What Sieving will do
- Record each run and its steps, with times and outcomes.
- Retry temporary failures automatically, waiting longer between attempts.
- Explain failures in plain language, and alert you when a problem doesn’t clear.
Safeguard: Retrying won’t repeat steps that already succeeded, so a customer isn’t emailed twice and a record isn’t written twice.
AI drafts. You decide. Rules run it.
The AI will
- Interpret your request and suggest a trigger, steps and field matches.
- Choose only from actions Sieving supports and your connections allow.
- Ask a clear question when a detail is missing.
- Explain the workflow in plain language.
The AI won’t
- Run actions in your apps. A predictable, rule-based engine will run approved workflows.
- Write or run code, or send data anywhere you haven’t approved.
- Give itself extra access or permissions.
- Change a live workflow without your approval.
- Follow instructions hidden in the emails, sheets or messages a workflow handles.
Failures that explain themselves.
A temporary problem
If an app is briefly unavailable or busy, Sieving will retry, waiting longer each time, and tell you if it still can’t finish.
Something needs a person
If a record is missing or a value needs checking, the run will pause with a plain-language explanation, show which steps already ran, and let you retry once it’s fixed.
Access changes
If an app is disconnected or its permissions change, the workflows that depend on it will pause until it’s reconnected.
