Flows
Run a flow
Run a flow from the canvas playground or the form view, run one step at a time, and stop a run.
From the playground
Click Playground in the canvas toolbar. Type a message and send it: the message goes to the Chat Input, and the Chat Output's result comes back as the answer. Each conversation is kept; start another with New Chat.
This is how you talk to a flow: ask a reporting flow for September's figures, and get them back in the chat.
Note
The playground needs a Chat Input or a Chat Output in the flow.
From the form view
Click Form in the toolbar (it opens by itself on a phone). The form has sections:
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Inputs | The flow's input fields. |
| Run | Run flow, and Stop while it runs. Each step shows when it is done and how long it took. |
| Results | What the flow produced: text, images, files. |
| Settings | The components' main settings. |
| Chat | The playground chat, when the flow has one. |
Use Edit graph to go back to the canvas.
Test one step
- Run until here runs the flow up to one component, so you can check its output before going further.
- Freeze keeps a component's last output and skips it in the next runs. Useful for a slow or costly step you are not changing.
Other ways to run
- From Build › Flows, the flow's menu › Run.
- On a schedule: Scheduled runs.
- From your code: Run a flow over the API.
Every run, wherever it started, appears in History.
When a run fails
The failing component shows its error. The most common ones are listed in Troubleshooting.
