Generic Workflows

Learn how to create your own workflows and edit Lyrebird's prebuilt workflows. A complete guide to Generic Workflows in Lyrebird.

Lyrebird's Generic Workflows let you build, customise, and reuse document templates that fit your practice. Whether you're uploading your own documents or adapting one of Lyrebird's pre-built workflows, this guide walks you through both.



Part 1: Creating a Workflow

Workflows in Lyrebird let you upload, build, and reuse document templates tailored to your practice. Once created, they live in your personal library, ready to use in seconds and shareable across your organisation.


Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Navigate to Workflows

    1. From the main navigation, click Customise

    2. Select the Workflows tab from the left-hand side

    3. You'll land in your Personal Workflows. This is where all your created or amended workflows are stored

  2. Create a New Workflow

    1. Click Create Workflow

    2. Choose how you'd like to build your workflow. You have three options:

      • Browse your computer: upload an existing file directly from your device

      • Select from tabs or templates: choose from templates already available in Lyrebird

      • Compose from scratch: build a new workflow from a blank canvas

  3. Upload and Scan Your Document

    1. If uploading from your computer, browse for your file and select it to upload

    2. Lyrebird will automatically scan the document to identify the context and any input fields

    3. Once complete, your document will be converted into a workflow ready for editing

  4. Review and Edit Your Workflow

    1. Review the workflow that has been generated

    2. If you need to make any adjustments, use the text field at the bottom of the screen to create or edit components

    3. Continue refining until the workflow looks exactly as you need it

  5. Name and Save Your Workflow

    1. Update the workflow name to something clear and recognisable. This is how it will appear in your personal library

    2. Click Save Workflow to save your changes

    3. Always click Save Workflow before navigating away to ensure your work is not lost

  6. Confirm Your Workflow is Saved

    1. Click the back arrow to return to your Personal Workflows page

    2. Your new workflow will now appear in the list, confirming it has been saved successfully

  7. Share with Your Organisation (Optional)

    1. If you'd like other members of your organisation to access the workflow, click Share to organisation

    2. Organisation members will then be able to download the workflow and add it to their own personal libraries


Tips for Best Results

  • Name your workflows clearly. A descriptive name makes it easier to find and select the right one during a consultation

  • Always save before navigating away. Lyrebird won't retain your workflow until you click Save Workflow

  • Use the edit field to fine-tune any components that weren't picked up correctly during the scan

  • Share thoughtfully. Once shared to your organisation, members can download and use the workflow independently

Part 2: Editing Prebuilt Workflows

Lyrebird comes with a library of pre-built workflows ready to use out of the box. If one of these workflows is close to what you need but not quite right, you can select and edit it to match your exact requirements, without needing to build from scratch.


Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Navigate to Workflows

    1. Click Customise from the main navigation

    2. Select Workflows from the left-hand side menu

    3. Here you will see both Built and Unbuilt workflows. These are Lyrebird's pre-built templates available for your account

  2. Select a Workflow to Edit

    1. Browse the available workflows and select the one you'd like to amend

    2. On the right-hand side, click Documents Generated, then select the document you want to preview and edit

  3. Preview and Make Amendments

    1. A preview of the workflow will appear on screen

    2. Use the AI text field at the bottom to request any changes you need. Type your instructions in plain language, just as you would when speaking to a colleague

    3. For example: if you'd like to change a field name, type your request and Lyrebird will make the update for you automatically

  4. Review the Updated Workflow

    1. Check that all required fields, sections, and content look correct

    2. Confirm that any MBS billing fields or compliance requirements are still present and accurate

    3. Continue making adjustments via the AI text field until you're satisfied with the result

  5. Save Your Edited Workflow

    1. Once you're happy, click Save Workflow

    2. A confirmation will appear to let you know the workflow has been saved

    3. Click Back to return to your Personal Workflows page

  6. Use Your Workflow in Consultations

    1. Your edited workflows will now appear in your Personal Workflows list

    2. They are ready to use immediately during your consultations


Tips for Best Results

  • Write amendment requests in plain language. The AI text field understands natural instructions, so there's no need for technical formatting

  • Always check MBS billing fields after making edits to confirm compliance requirements are still intact

  • If a prebuilt workflow needs significant changes, consider uploading your own document instead (see Part 1)
