Navigating the Flow Editor

The flow editor serves as your primary workspace for designing and modifying flows. Each time you create or select a flow, you will access this editing environment:
Key Components of the Flow Editor
-
Flow Name
The identifier assigned to the flow during its creation. -
Create Message Button
This button generates a new node. While we typically suggest initiating flows with a Send Message action, other actions or Split Actions might better suit your specific requirements. -
Start Flow Button
Click this button to initiate contacts within the flow. You can select individual contacts or multiple groups, with options to filter by:
-
-
Inactive Contacts: Those who haven’t messaged within a customizable period (default 90 days)
-
Contacts not in other flows: Prevents interruption of active flows
-
Contacts absent from this flow: Allows re-entry after 90 days
-
4. Settings Menu
This menu provides several management options:
-
Results: Review performance metrics and outcomes for the current flow
-
Edit: Modify the flow’s name, configure keyword triggers, adjust expiration settings, or set keyword ignore rules
-
Copy: Create an exact duplicate of the flow
-
Delete: Permanently remove the flow (this action is irreversible)
-
Export & Import: Transfer flow configurations via JSON files between workspaces, including multilingual translations
Additional Features
-
The Simulator
This testing tool becomes available after creating your first node, allowing you to evaluate flows from an end-user perspective during development.
The simulator is a handy testing tool enabling you to test your flows from an end-user’s perspective as you build them. Once clicked, the simulator will initiate the first step of your flow.
-
Revision History
Access previous versions of your flow and restore earlier iterations if necessary.
