Flows

Flows is the automation tool built into Directus. A flow watches for something to happen — a record being created, a button being clicked, a scheduled time being reached — and then automatically carries out a sequence of actions in response.

In the APOA Congress platform, flows handle the behind-the-scenes work that would otherwise require manual steps: sending a confirmation email when an abstract is submitted, updating a record status on a schedule, or notifying a team member when a support ticket is assigned to them.

Most flows run silently in the background. As an administrator you can view them in Settings → Flows, see whether they are active, and check the execution log if something does not appear to be working as expected.
