Insights Hub Visual Flow Creator Examples

Documentation Forum

Welcome

  • You are interested in Insights Hub?
  • You want to know, what you can do with it?
  • You've heard about Visual Flow Creator and want to try it out?
  • You know already Visual Flow Creator but search for examples?
  • You want to get inspired by other flows from the community?

This repository provides example flows to be used in Insights Hub Visual Flow Creator (VFC). You can use them and try it out to get an impression what is possible. Additionally you can customize them to your use cases. And of course you can contribute to this repository and share your knowledge to others.

If you do not have already purchased the app, you can get it in the Insights Hub Store. Or if you do not already have a Insights Hub account, get one at Insights Hub Start.

How does this work

In the next chapter you will find example flows. There is always a readme with a short description, what this flow does. There is an image showing the flow to get an impression of the complexity.

And there is the most important thing - the json file, which you can import as a new flow into your Visual Flow Creator.

Please note, that the json-files are exported from another tenant. So their might be fields which you have to adapt, that the flow is able to run in your tenant.
