A flow is an automated sequence of marketing-related steps, such as sending a message, updating participant information, or creating an activity. For a conceptual overview, see the Learn - Marketing section. This page details how to create flows using the API.

Creating an EmailFlow

To create a new flow programmatically:

Create a default EmailFlow object: Start with the CreateDefaultEmailFlow Agent to initialize a new flow.
```
POST /api/v1/Agents/Workflow/CreateDefaultEmailFlow
```
Add triggers: Include triggers (in the EmailFlow object) to set conditions for when a person is suggested as participant in the flow.
```
POST /api/v1/Agents/Workflow/CreateDefaultWorkflowTrigger
```
Add steps: Define and incorporate steps (into the EmailFlow object) to sequence the flow of actions.
```
POST /api/v1/Agents/Workflow/CreateDefaultWorkflowStepFromType
```
Save the flow: Use the SaveEmailFlow Agent to finalize and save the configured email flow.
```
POST /api/v1/Agents/Workflow/SaveEmailFlow
```
