Example Workflows

[Ed Novak - Cisco Workflows TME]

To help new Workflow users get started we'll be posting some example workflows here until the Workflows Exchange is ready.  Please feel free to ask any questions about these workflows here.  We are also creating video walkthroughs of each example workflow and will update the posts with the links as soon as they are ready.

If you've already submitted a request for Early Access to the new Workflows environment but haven't received notification yet, please be patient.  We had an overwhelming response for Early Access at Cisco Live and we're working through the backlog. We will get you activated as soon as we can over the next few weeks.

If you haven't already requested Early Access, you can do so here: http://cs.co/WorkflowsEarlyAccess
