generating the second workflow block in the new workflow and associating the second workflow block with at least one sub-element of the second SaaS platform element includes generating the second workflow block via a GUI component of the first workflow block; and

interconnecting the first workflow block and the second workflow block includes configuring the second workflow block such that a completion of action in the first workflow block serves as a trigger for the second workflow block.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein enabling a first user of the at least one entity to generate a new workflow for the at least one entity occurs through use of a workflow manager associated with the at least one entity.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the workflow manager includes further workflows associated with the at least one entity, resources associated with the further workflows, and activations statuses associated with the further workflows.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein generating the new workflow is performed from an account view, or from an element view.

11. A method for facilitating SaaS platform element interconnections, the method comprising:

maintaining a plurality of SaaS platform elements of a SaaS platform, each of the plurality of SaaS platform elements including a plurality of sub-elements;

maintaining a permissions manager associating the plurality of SaaS platform elements with entities utilizing the SaaS platform, wherein each of the plurality of SaaS platform elements is associated with at least one entity of the entities utilizing the SaaS platform, and the permissions manager includes an association of a first entity with at least a first SaaS platform element and a second SaaS platform element; and

displaying a graphical user interface enabling a first user of the first entity to provide user input via the graphical user interface to generate a new workflow for the at least one entity, wherein generating includes:

configuring a first workflow block in the new workflow and associating the first workflow block with at least one sub-element of the first SaaS platform element to enable the new workflow to exchange data with the at least one sub-element of the first SaaS platform element;

configuring a second workflow block in the new workflow and associating the second workflow block with at least one sub-element of the second SaaS platform element to enable the new workflow to exchange data with the at least one sub-element of the second SaaS platform element;

configuring a dynamic subfield for at least one of the first workflow block or the second workflow block, wherein at least one processor is configured to populate the dynamic subfield based on changing data received from a corresponding SaaS platform element;

interconnecting the first workflow block and the second workflow block;
