# GAT Flow: Creating a Workflow

GAT Flow is a User Management tool for [Google Workspace](https://workspace.google.com/) Admins to** take a single or bulk action to Onboard (create), Offboard (delete), or Modify (update)** users.

## Creating a Workflow

### Selecting the Workflow Type

In GAT Flow, you can create different types of **Workflow** as per your organization's requirement that contains action sets. You can also create multiple workflows at the same time. Every department in your organization can have its own unique workflow, and every workflow can be fed individual user names or a list from a sheet.

An admin can set this up by clicking **'Create workflow',**giving it a name, and selecting the **type** of workflow**- 'Onboarding', 'Offboarding', or 'Modify'.**

**NOTE:** Offboarding will either archive, suspend or delete the selected User, Group or Organizational Unit depending on the last offboarding action you choose.

- **Notification Recipients** – use to designate a specific person or group of users to be notified when the workflow is completed
- **Workflow tags** – use to apply your customized tags for easier workflow identification. [How to Create Workflow Tags in GAT Flow](https://gatlabs.com/knowledge/tech-tips/how-to-create-workflow-tags-in-gat-flow/)
