# Cache Fetch Flow Behavior

## Overview

This tutorial demonstrates how to use **Cache Fetch Flow Behavior**. This Flow Behavior can be used to fill the Cache in with data that needs to be kept for a certain period of time. Additionally, this tutorial demonstrates how to get a collection of data from the cache.

In the following example, Cache a collection of Account Emails. Next, this Flow will fill a custom created Cache Type. Finally, a second Flow will get all items from the custom Cache Type.
