Open the flow or actions page<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From your project, look for the menu or button named&nbsp;<strong>Actions<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Flows<\/strong>, or&nbsp;<strong>Automation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"72\" height=\"81\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2.png 72w, https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-2-11x12.png 11w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 72px) 100vw, 72px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some versions, the flow page may be accessible from the project dashboard or the sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Click New Flow or Add Flow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find a button with a + icon, or labels such as\u00a0<strong>Create New Flow<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>New Flow<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"88\" height=\"54\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-3.png 88w, https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-3-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 88px) 100vw, 88px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your interface first shows existing flows, the button is usually in the top right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Give the flow a clear name<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter a title that explains what the flow does, such as&nbsp;<em>Create Meeting Report<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>Automatic Invoice Extraction<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add a short description if a description field is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Add the first action<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose an action type from the available list, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a document<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extract data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send an email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a widget or report<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each action, click&nbsp;<strong>Add<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>Select<\/strong>&nbsp;and then fill in the required settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Configure the action settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each action in the flow, specify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The input data (tags, sources, files, project, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The expected output (document type, destination, email, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any run conditions if those options are available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review each action before moving to the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Add additional actions if needed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A flow can contain multiple actions executed in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After adding the first action, use the&nbsp;<strong>Add an action<\/strong>&nbsp;button to chain the next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"145\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-4.png 145w, https:\/\/www2.dataunfold.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-4-11x12.png 11w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 145px) 100vw, 145px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Check the order and dependencies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the action order matches the process you want to automate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, extraction should happen before generating a report and sending an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. Save the flow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the flow is complete, click&nbsp;<strong>Save<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Publish<\/strong>, or the equivalent button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a validation warning appears, fix any missing fields and save again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. Test the flow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Run the flow with an example or test input if that option is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the result and adjust actions if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. Activate or schedule the flow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your interface offers an activation option, turn on the flow so it runs automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also be able to schedule regular runs (daily, weekly, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Start with a simple flow and add steps one at a time. This makes testing and fixing easier.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
