The Library, by category

Library. Guides new joiners to complete essential profile data from their task list.

Custom Onboarding Checklist

How it works

Three ways to deploy a workflow.

Onboarding, offboarding, expense and event approvals, return-to-work, mobile apps. Live from day one in every Sense tenant.

Library — switch it on

Browse the Sense Automate Library inside your tenant. Pick the workflow, set the rules, save. Live in minutes — not a consulting project.

Custom — we build it

For Enterprise-tier requirements that need custom logic or integrations. Our team designs and builds with you.

Common questions

Sense Automate FAQs.

Are the 100+ workflows really ready, or do I have to build them?+
Ready. The Library workflows are pre-built and tested by Sense, ready to switch on inside your tenant. You configure the variables that matter to your business (approvers, thresholds, dates) — you don't build the workflow logic.
What's the difference between Standard and Library workflows?+
Standard workflows are pre-installed in every Sense tenant from day one — the everyday HR processes (onboarding, offboarding, basic approvals, return-to-work). Library workflows are 100+ optional workflows you switch on as you need them — UK-specific things like Fit Note After 7 Days, Buy/Sell Holidays, Flexi Time. Library is on Elite tier and above.
Can I customise the Library workflows?+
Yes — each Library workflow has configurable variables (approvers, thresholds, escalation rules, notification recipients, dates). You configure those when you switch the workflow on. The underlying workflow logic is maintained by Sense so it always works.
What if I need a workflow that's not in the Library?+
Two routes. First, ask — we add new workflows to the Library every month based on customer requests. Second, if it's specific to your business (custom approval chains, bespoke integrations), that's a Custom Workflow Template on the Enterprise tier — we design and build it with you.
Does Sense Automate use AMI / AI?+
Yes — AMI is built into the Sense platform and several AMI agents work inside Automate workflows. The AMI Expense Policy Review agent reads expense claims against your policy. The AMI Doc Sender agent picks audiences and sends documents at scale. See /ai.html for the full AMI agent stack.
How does this work with my payroll / scheduling / other systems?+
Sense Automate connects to external services via Service Connectors — including Sage 50 Payroll, Xero, BrightPay, PayCaptain, RotaCloud, Papershift, Chronicle Online, Microsoft, Google, Slack and TrustID. Workflows can read from and write to these systems as part of their automation.
How often do new Library workflows ship?+
Roughly monthly. The roadmap is customer-driven — the next workflow released is typically the one most requested by Sense customers in the previous quarter.
Which tier do I need for what?+
Standard workflows are in every tenant (Team and Elite). The 100+ Library workflows are on Elite. Custom Workflow Templates are Enterprise (Sense Workplace). See /pricing.html for the full breakdown.
