Overview of Linking Flows

When you submit a flow, you can link it to one or more completed flows from the Linked Flows section of the flow submission page.

For example, you can link the Payroll Activity Report to the Calculate Payroll flow to verify and validate the run results, before processing the payments.

If you link the flow to active flows, the Linked Flows section of the active flows list the newly submitted flow. You can't combine flows that are in progress, but you can submit a flow and link it to an active or completed flow.

Since you're linking the flows on the flow submission page, you can link the individual runs only at the flow instance level.

Note: If you frequently link a flow to another flow, such as an extract to a weekly payroll run flow, add that flow to the payroll flow pattern for your weekly payroll run. The next time you submit the flow, the checklist includes the task.

Your data security permissions control which flows you can view and submit, and therefore, which flows you can link.

You can view the linked flows on the Checklist page. You can view details such as name of the flow linked to the current flow, when the linked flow was submitted, status of the linked flow, and so on.
