## Features

#### Trigger workflows

Start a new instance of a workflow directly from your app. Pass in the data you already have, and let Workflow Builder orchestrate forms, signatures, and extensions automatically.

#### Manage workflow instances

Retrieve and monitor the state of a workflow instance. You can check its progress, pause or resume execution, or cancel an instance.
