Published Flows

Every flow that has been published from the Designer, and the place you schedule them.

Published flows

A flow appears here once a version of it is published — see Versions. Until then it exists only in the Designer and cannot be scheduled, triggered, or run through the API.

Each row carries the flow name, when it was last modified, its id, and how many versions have been published.

Actions

The menu at the end of a row:

Scheduling

Schedule opens the dialog that turns a published flow into a recurring job:

Schedule a flow

FieldNotes
Flow and VersionWhich published version to run. Pinning a version is the point — it keeps running while you edit master
NameWhat the schedule is called in lists and the calendar
RobotsWhich robots may run it. More than one gives you failover
PriorityWhich job wins when robots are contended
TimezoneInterpreted for the schedule, not the robot's local time
Schedule PeriodMinutes, hours, days, weeks or months, and the interval within it
Allow To Run In CloudFalls back to a cloud robot when none of yours is connected

The Schedule Summary panel restates your choices as a sentence as you fill the form — worth reading before saving, because a wrong timezone or interval is easier to catch in prose than in fields.

Timezone is not the robot's

The timezone here is the one the schedule is interpreted in. A robot in another timezone still runs at the moment this schedule specifies — which is usually what you want for a business process, and surprising if you assumed otherwise.

Editing

Edit renames the published flow and manages its labels:

Edit a published flow

Renaming here changes the published flow, not the flow in the Designer.

Labels are key-value pairs. They are how you group flows across projects — by team, by environment, by customer — and they are worth setting early, because retrofitting labels to fifty flows is nobody's afternoon.
