Example

1. From the desired Designer Folder, navigate to Settings > Configuration > Designers > Designer Extensions. 
2. Expand FLOW on the top Action bar, then select Flow Action. 
3. Name the Flow, then click the CREATE button. 
   As a best practice, name the Flow something that corresponds to the Action's function.

   

4. Within the Flow Designer, search for the Run Report (Debug Report) step from the Toolbox tab, and attach it to the Start and End steps.
5. Save the Flow, then close via X.
   Saving the adds the Flow Action to the Designer Extensions Folder.
