A flow is a connected set of one or more elements on the Storyboard, that can run automatically. We define a autonomous flow as one that can run by itself without someone opening the story and clicking "Run".
In other words:
2 or more connected elements that can run autonomously
containing an IMAP, webhook, form
1 or more scheduled elements
scheduling enabled on at least one action
Elements include any of the 8 actions, a tool, or template you can pull onto the Storyboard to begin a workflow. This does not include annotations.
You can have one or more flows on a Storyboard, but will be charged for each autonomous flow. See Tines pricing and packaging here for additional information on our pricing model.
This is an example of a single flow:
