# Introduction

Jira administrators often need to implement sophisticated workflows that go beyond the built-in capabilities of Jira. The *Jira Misc Workflow Extensions* add-on provides extensions that help you to design advanced workflows.

The add-on provides advanced Conditions, Validators and Post-functions to achieve this purpose with no programming skills. You can tailor your Jira workflows to meet your needs and reduce manual user intervention on issues.
