# About Simple Flows

## Overview

**Simple Flows** are a linear sequence of steps built using a simplified version of the pre-existing Flow Designer known as the **Simple** **Flow** **Designer.**

The following workflows may benefit from a Simple Flow:

- **Repetitive** business processes with variation, examples include:
  - Marketing email drip campaigns
  - Manufacturing processes, such as Corrective Action Steps
  - QA Processes involving multiple similar but slightly different products
  - Business process outsourcing
- **Bottom-up** business process planning often seen with collaboration between the Decisions Developer/Designer and a Business Process Expert.
  - The Designer builds the steps within Simplified Workflow and sends it to the Business Process Expert to build a full Workflow.

The Simple Flow Designer only allows access to user-configured **Simple** **Flow** **Steps** designed to act as individual points within a business process. They provide all the power of a full-sized Flow but act as a single step within a Simple Flow.

The steps within this designer are interchangeable and can also be reorganized according to a user's needs. These Flows can be packaged together to execute various commonly performed activities.
