# Combining adaptors to create workflows

### What is a workflow? 

Workflows are combinations of adaptors that work together to edit, clean, merge and transform your data. 

Users set up a workflow to perform data integration & manipulation: ingesting data from one or more data-sources, combining, cleaning, harmonising, and reshaping it, and then sending the data onward in a format that’s ready for downstream applications or sharing.
