API workflows help you build, manage, and scale real-time, system-to-system integrations through APIs.

Built on a fully cloud-managed, serverless infrastructure integrated into the UiPath Platform, API workflows provide tools, performance, and organization-level governance to execute API-based processes fast and securely, without manual infrastructure management.

API workflows meet the needs of different roles across your organization: **automation developers** can chain API calls and transform data, **platform administrators** can manage and secure integrations, and **system architects** can design composite services that are exposed as reusable APIs.

For example:

* As an **automation developer**, you can build workflows that automate order processing, sync customer data across CRM and ERP systems, or trigger notifications based on real-time events.
* As a **platform administrator**, you can centrally manage integrations or monitor performance, without managing infrastructure or worrying about runtime environments.
* As a **system architect**, you can abstract complex business logic into reusable, secure APIs that serve as modular building blocks, simplifying system integration and data protection.
