# Task Chaining Pattern

This tutorial demonstrates how to chain multiple tasks together as a sequence in a workflow. For more information about the task chaining pattern see the [Dapr docs](https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/workflow/workflow-patterns/#task-chaining).

## Inspect the code

Open the `ChainingWorkflow.cs` file in the `tutorials/workflow/csharp/task-chaining/TaskChaining` folder. This file contains the definition for the workflow.

```mermaid
graph LR
   SW((Start
   Workflow))
   A1[Activity1]
   A2[Activity2]
   A3[Activity3]
   EW((End
   Workflow))
   SW --> A1
   A1 --> A2
   A2 --> A3
   A3 --> EW
```


## Run the tutorial

1. Use a terminal to navigate to the `tutorials/workflow/csharp/task-chaining` folder.
2. Build the project using the .NET CLI.

    ```bash
    dotnet build ./TaskChaining/
    ```

3. Use the Dapr CLI to run the Dapr Multi-App run file

    ```bash
    dapr run -f .
    ```

4. Use the POST request in the [`chaining.http`](./chaining.http) file to start the workflow.
5. Use the GET request in the [`chaining.http`](./chaining.http) file to get the status of the workflow.
6. Stop the Dapr Multi-App run process by pressing `Ctrl+C`.
