FORMLOVA has 127 MCP tools. That is a lot of capability, but for someone just getting started, "you can do anything" can feel like "figure it out yourself."
Workflow Place solves this. It is a public directory of automation recipes -- tested workflows that you can browse, copy a prompt, and set up on your own form through chat. No configuration UI, no settings page. Just a prompt and a conversation.
This article walks through how to use it.
Open Workflow Place
Workflow Place is a public page. No login required to browse.
URL: formlova.com/en/workflows
When you open the page, published workflow recipes appear as cards in a grid.
What Each Card Shows
Each recipe card displays:
- Title and summary -- what the recipe does, in one line
- Category tag -- events, inquiries, sales, and more (9 categories)
- Required plan -- Free, Standard+, or Premium
- Step count -- how many actions the recipe includes
- Likes -- how many people liked this recipe
Filter and Sort
As the directory grows, filters help you find what you need.
Filter by category:
- Events
- Surveys
- Customer support
- Sales and lead capture
- Recruiting
- Education and training
- Reservations and bookings
- Customer follow-up
- Other
Filter by plan: Free / Standard+ / Premium
Filter by type:
- FORMLOVA only -- Recipes that run entirely on FORMLOVA. Set and forget
- MCP cross-service -- Recipes that involve Slack, HubSpot, or other external services. Initiated from chat
Sort by: Popular (likes) / Newest
View Recipe Details
Click a recipe card to open the detail page.
Left column:
- Full title and description
- Numbered step list (each step shows which MCP provider it uses)
- For cross-service recipes, setup instructions for required external services
Right column (sticky sidebar):
- Prompt example -- this is the key piece
- Copy button
- Like button and favorite button
How to Use a Recipe: Copy a Prompt and Paste It
Using a recipe from Workflow Place is straightforward.
- Find the prompt example on the right side of the detail page
- Press the Copy button
- Paste it into your MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.)
- The AI handles the rest
For example, the "Event Reminder + Follow-up" recipe has a prompt like this:
Set up an event registration workflow: send a confirmation email right after signup, remind attendees 3 days before the event, and send a feedback survey the day after.
When you paste this, FORMLOVA's AI will:
- Create a form draft (or use your existing form)
- Map fields automatically
- Configure the reminder and follow-up settings
- Ask in chat if anything is ambiguous
There is no settings screen. Everything happens in conversation.

Using Cross-Service Recipes
Some recipes involve external services like Slack, HubSpot, or Notion.
Currently supported MCP providers:
- FORMLOVA
- HubSpot
- Slack
- Google Sheets
- Gmail
- Figma
- Canva
- Notion
To use a cross-service recipe, you need the corresponding MCP server connected to your chat client. The detail page includes setup instructions for each required service.
One key difference to remember:
- FORMLOVA-only recipes: Run automatically after setup. No further action needed
- Cross-service recipes: You initiate them from chat by saying something like "process the new responses"
Likes and Favorites
Likes: If a recipe looks useful, press the heart button. You can like recipes without logging in. The like count serves as a lightweight quality signal.
Favorites: Bookmark recipes for later. This requires a login. Favorited recipes appear in the "Registered" tab on your dashboard.
Publishing Your Own Recipes
Workflow Place is not just for browsing. You can share your own workflows with other users.
The Publishing Flow
-
Set up and run a workflow -- Configure a workflow on your form and use it in practice
-
Save it as a recipe -- In chat:
Save this workflow as a recipe
At this point, the recipe is private (only visible to you).
-
Pass the quality gate -- To publish, three conditions must be met:
- The workflow has fired at least 10 times on real data
- It has 2 or more steps
- It has a description
-
Publish -- Once conditions are met:
Publish this recipe
If the quality gate passes, the recipe appears in Workflow Place.
Why the Quality Gate Exists
A workflow someone imagined but never ran is very different from one that has fired 10+ times on real data. The quality gate ensures every recipe in the directory has been proven in production. There is no review board. If the conditions are met, publication is automatic.
