About Flow Linking
With our Flow Linking connector, you can connect several integration flows to support a wider business task. Instead of building one long flow, you can split your work into smaller flows and pass data between them. As a result, you can build clear workflows that are easier to manage and change.
Key Benefits of Our Connector
- Simple Flow Linking: Connect related flows directly, so you can pass data between them without managing HTTP requests and responses.
- Flexible Workflows: Combine smaller flows to manage tasks that involve several steps and systems.
- Event-Based Actions: Use Pub/Sub to share events with several flows, so each flow can react to the same event independently.
- Flexible Data Handling: Use Batch to group messages by count, size, or time before another flow handles them.
Popular Use Cases
For example, you can combine Flow Linking with other elastic.io connectors to support different business needs:
- Customer Onboarding: Link a flow that creates a customer in Salesforce with another flow that sends a welcome message through Slack or another messaging service.
- Order Processing: Link an order intake flow that uses Shopify with a separate flow that handles order updates and alerts the relevant team.
- Lead Management: Connect a flow that captures leads through HubSpot with another flow that assigns leads and notifies the sales team.
Because Flow Linking helps you split complex workflows into smaller parts, you can connect related tasks, pass data between flows, and build more flexible integrations.
