Adding Run Flow Links or Buttons to a Page

Overview

This feature allows the user to implement a button component linked to a Flow that, when selected by the end-user, will initiate a specified Flow on the backend. The function of this button can be as broad as the Flow logic itself. This function is typically applied to use cases where a Page/Dashboard is kicking off a process with an interface that the end-user interacts with.In the example, a Page is created with a Run Flow component that initiates a simple Flow that displays a popup message.

6. In the resulting window, give the Flow a name and click CREATE.
7. In the Flow Designer, drag and connect a Show Popup step to the Start step from the Steps > Favorite Steps section.
