Every six months, we challenge the Tines community to show us their most innovative, creative, and effective workflows in our You Did What With Tines?! competition (YDWWT). This Spring 2025 edition has raised the bar, with over 75 submissions showcasing the versatility of the Tines platform. We had stories that ranged from security and access management, to gaming systems, information collection tools, and so much more.
This year, our panel of judges was looking for stories, also known as workflows in Tines, that had the following features:
Strong documentation
Thoughtful design
Adaptability across various use cases
Clever implementation of Tines features and templates
The winning stories demonstrated technical excellence and practical solutions that can deliver real value - for both your organization and your local game night
Now, without further delay, let's celebrate the builders who impressed us the most with their outstanding workflows!
The overall winner
EDgaR - the EDR audit and asset discovery utility
Author: Tom Power, University of British Columbia
This clever CrowdStrike integration stood out with its innovative design, practical security approach, and significant time-saving potential. Tom built a solution that handles everything from asset discovery to compliance tagging using impressive technical skills. What did we love the most? It solves a real security headache while being adaptable enough for other teams to customize for their needs. EDgaR captures what YDWWT is about – turning a Tines workflow into something powerful and practical your organization can use over and over.
In Tom’s own words:
A security analyst can
* Check CrowdStrike to see if an endpoint is present by selecting “Audit”
* Tag endpoints in CrowdStrike by selecting “Tagging”
An organization can use CrowdStrike tags to identify departmental asset owners, which can be used in Incident Response, CrowdStrike Fusion Workflows, or Scheduled Reports.
EDgaR - the EDR audit and asset discovery utility
This story assists IT Admins with EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) compliance. With the two webforms, IT admins, who do not have access to the CrowdStrike console, can verify host registration along with the appropriate CrowdStrike tags. In addition, there is a scheduled workflow which queries the CrowdStrike asset discovery API to discover "unmanaged" neighbors, which do not have the Falcon Sensor installed. Tines, along with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, facilitates EDR compliance and asset discovery.

AI-powered workflows
Workflow: Cleanup Microsoft Outlook inbox with Tines AI
Author: Michael Lynn, ECS Federal
Michael's inbox cleanup story was an impressive example of using AI to sort emails and create organization rules. It tackles a common productivity pain point with effective data handling and trend analysis. By blending AI capabilities with practical automation, this workflow is a strong example of Tines solving everyday challenges in a way that keeps delivering value long after setup.
Build interactive apps
Workflow: Game Picker - a mini web app for choosing a game to play
Author: Jarrin Sacayanan, Reltio
The Game Picker story considers the spirit of this competition by transforming a Tines story into a fully functional web app with user authentication, social features, and game management capabilities. The various pages walk users through creating a gaming profile, building their gaming library, and even finding fellow friends to play with. Its building logic demonstrates how Tines Pages and formulas can create sophisticated interactive experiences without the need for traditional web development tools.
Tines fundamentals
Workflow: Alert and remediate public Tines pages
Author: Haley Kidd, GE Vernova
When building Tines pages, users might accidentally set permissions to "Anyone with Link" instead of setting further access restrictions. Haley's story automates auditing team stories for this security issue, exemplifying Tines fundamentals through a simple workflow from data collection to remediation. With effective branching logic, API integrations, and data transformation, our judges appreciated how it automates security tasks while providing clear documentation and error handling for maintainable automation going forward.
Tines for fun
Workflow: Manage RSS and YouTube subscriptions via Tines and notify on new releases
Author: Tyler Wong, Tines with Tyler
This workflow was designed to curate a custom collection of RSS and YouTube feeds, helping end-users organize and manage the various feeds they track. Our judges loved this so much they wanted to import it to their own tenants! It transforms what could be a mundane content monitoring task into a fully orchestrated and automated experience. Notifications can be sent to multiple channels, at various frequency intervals, to allow the user to catch the latest from their favorite blog or YouTuber. It’s a fun Tines workflow that in turn solves a real problem many content enthusiasts face!
Internal Tines winner
Workflow: Schedule Manager with Tines
Author: Eoin Magner
The YDWWT competition isn't restricted just to external folks, our own Tines employees get to submit their own workflows. Customer Success Engineer II, Eoin, created a workflow using pages to help teams set up schedules for various tasks like on-call duty. It makes sure schedules are rotated efficiently, and individuals are notified on when it's their turn to be on-call. This workflow has been a huge lifesaver for our Customer Success team as we make sure customers are getting the proper attention they need at the right time. Others can easily implement this story for their own needs as the workflow leverages Tines Records for data storage and integrating with Slack for timely notifications overall creating a complete end-to-end solution for managing team availability.
