Overview
Workflows in Legl define the steps a client completes as part of an Engage request. Each workflow can include a combination of checks, forms, and tasks tailored to the type of matter or level of due diligence required. For example, you might create one workflow for standard individual onboarding and another for higher-risk or business clients.
Creating a workflow allows your firm to control exactly what information is collected, in what order, and which departments have access. Only users with Administrator access can create or manage workflows.
Before you start
Before creating a workflow, make sure you have:
Administrator access in Legl
ℹ️ Important
Only Administrators can create, edit, clone, or archive workflows.
How to create a workflow
Navigate to Engage → Workflows from the left-hand menu.
Select Create workflow.
Under Workflow details, complete the following fields:
Workflow name: a key identifier for the workflow
Workflow description: helps identify when this workflow should be used
Who can see this?: select which departments can access the workflow
Complete steps sequentially?: choose whether steps must be completed in order
Customise the client-facing Getting Started message. This updates the text shown to clients on the first step of the workflow and in the initial email.
Select Add step to choose which steps to include in the workflow.
Configure any additional settings or customisations for each step.
Reorder steps using the arrow icons to control the order clients complete them.
Select Submit workflow to save and enable it for use in Engage requests.
What happens next
The workflow becomes available for selection when creating an Engage request.
Any departments with visibility permissions will be able to use it immediately.
The workflow can be edited, cloned, or archived at any time by an Administrator.
How to edit, clone or archive a workflow
Go to Engage → Workflows.

There is no limit to the number of workflows your firm can create.
Creating workflows is free, but some steps (such as CDD or eSignature) may incur additional fees once the Engage request is completed by the client.
Only users with Administrator permissions can manage workflows.
