Getting started with Flow

Flow is the workflow automation half of work.studio. You describe a process once — what starts it, what it does, what happens when something fails — and it runs without you.

This section takes you from nothing to a working automation.

Before you start

  • A work.studio account — sign up if you don't have one. The same account works for Flow and My Studio.
  • Access to at least one system you want to automate. You can complete the quick start without one, but Flow is only useful once it's connected to something real.
