# Designing Workflows

In this tutorial, we will walkthrough creating a simple workflow that will: 

* Receive a PDF document as a Base64 encoded string
* Call an external API to parse the document
* Write and run custom function code
* Use an if condition to check the document type
* Dispatch adaptive cards for each outcome of the condition
