Getting Started

Your first flow in 5 minutes

Follow these five steps to go from a blank canvas to a live, deployed flow.

01

Create your account

Sign up at flowapp.studio and verify your email. You'll land in the App Studio dashboard where all your flows live.

02

Create a new flow

Click "New Flow" in the dashboard. Give it a name and choose a channel type — USSD, chatbot, or web widget. Each type comes with a starter template you can build on.

03

Add and connect nodes

Drag nodes from the left panel onto the canvas. Connect them by clicking the output handle of one node and dragging to the input of another. Start nodes begin the flow; message nodes display content; condition nodes branch based on user input.

04

Test your flow

Click "Test" in the top bar to open the simulator. Walk through your flow as a user would — enter inputs, check branching logic, and verify the end states. Errors surface inline on the failing node.

Deploy

When you're happy with the flow, click "Deploy". For USSD, enter your shortcode and link a gateway. For chatbots, connect your WhatsApp Business or Telegram token. Changes go live in under 30 seconds.
