Creating a flow using a template
If you have an idea in your head, someone probably must have thought about it before you. So, before building a new flow from scratch, look for an existing template. This will save you a lot of time since the template will come with actions and a process flow that can then be modified or extended. It will also serve as a quick-start guide and a learning tool. Just as you can use flows created by others, you could submit your own flows to the Flow store. Your flow will appear on the gallery page if it successfully goes through the approval process.
