Adding Workflow Steps

Each step is an instruction for Apers to execute. Steps run in order, from first to last.
1

Click the text box

Click on a step’s text box to edit it.
2

Type what you want Apers to do in this step. For example: “Summarize the rent roll” or “Calculate the cap rate.”
3

Add more steps

Click to add additional steps as needed. Each step runs after the previous one finishes.

Using Input Requests

Sometimes you need information from the user before running a workflow. Input requests let you ask for this. Example: A market research workflow might need to know which market to research. When you add an input request:
  1. Apers will ask the user for that information when the workflow runs
  2. The user’s answer is saved as a variable
  3. You can use that variable in later steps
Once you create a variable, you can reuse it in any following step—no need to ask for the same information twice.

Using Variables in Later Steps

After creating an input request, you can reference that variable in any step that comes after. Example:
  • Step 1: Input request for “market_name”
  • Step 2: “Research population growth in
  • Step 3: “Find comparable sales in
The variable carries through the entire workflow.
