Systems and methods for automated workflow capture in a drilling application are provided. The interactions between a user and the drilling application are automatically tracked via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the drilling application executable at a computing device. The tracked interactions are based in part on input received from the user via the GUI with respect to a user-initiated operation related to an activity at a well site. Data for the workflow is captured based on the tracked interactions. The captured workflow data is stored in a memory of the computing device.
