Flows

A flow is an automated, digital step-by-step process that ensures people gets things done right, the first time. Following the flow is what enables you to have predictable and consistent results.

Examples of flows include:

  • Onboarding a new customer
  • Coordinating installations between customers and installers
  • Requesting and approving a timesheet for invoicing
  • Planning an event
  • Onboarding new-hires or contractors

Best Practices

Flow Overview 

The flow overview is where you can describe your flow thoroughly so others know when and how to use it!

  • Give the details that will help your audience understand the purpose of the flow (and help save time spend on answering common questions)
  • Recommended: In order for expenses to be reimbursed, you must upload copies of receipts. Reimbursements are typically paid via payroll. Valid expenses include: 
    • Conferences 
    • Lodging
    • Meals
    • Transportation
  • Not Recommended Use this flow for reimbursement requests

Add flows to a category so they can easily be found and used by other team members

  • Adding your flow to a category will place your flow into one of the groups on the Create Ask Page
  • The flow needs to be made Live and Public before you can add it to a category 
    • Enabling the Live toggle will take your flow out of draft mode, and make this the version that a flow that Asks will be created from
    • Enabling the Public toggle will make your flow accessible from the Create Ask Page
