Create a new Flow

It's easy to get started with Flowbox Flows. Follow this step-by-step guide to get started:

1. Log into Flowbox and click on 'Flows' in the left-hand menu.

2. Click on the 'Create Flow' button.

3. A dialogue box will now appear, allowing you to select the type of Flow you want to create. You can choose either:

  • Static Flow
    A Static Flow only displays the content you manually distribute to it. This type of Flow is typically used on pages where you want complete control over the content and order, such as the home page or InstaShop.

  • Dynamic Product Flow
    ​A Dynamic Product Flow automatically displays content available in your Masterflow, as long as this content has any assigned Products. It is designed to dynamically retrieve posts on your website based on the productID parameter defined during the Product Detail Page (PDP) implementation.

  • Dynamic Tag Flow
    ​    A Dynamic Tag Flow automatically displays content available in your Masterflow, as long as this content has any assigned Tags. It is designed to dynamically retrieve posts on your website based on the tags property defined during implementation. These Flows are ideal for category pages, landing pages, or creating “Flows with filter buttons”.
    ​

4. Once you click 'Next', you will be prompted to give your Flow a name. We recommend that you name your Flow after where it is/will be placed on your website, e.g., 'Home page', so that it's easy to identify.

5. Click on the 'Create Flow' button to create the Flow.

The Flow is now created and will appear in the list.

Edit the type of an existing Flow

You can change your Flow type in Flowbox by manually selecting a new Flow type from the Visual Marketing > Flows menu. Click the meatball (three-dot) menu next to your Flow and select ‘Edit’ from the drop-down menu to access Flow type options.

This change will not affect the implemented code. For example, if you have added tags or a productId property, your Flow will continue to retrieve only the posts associated with these properties.

Note: Only users with Admin permissions can edit a Flow type. Learn more about user permissions here.
