* The Flow section consists of templates to create Flows or a sequence of activities (Flow components) that reflect a business process.&#x20;
* These activities and events are executed in a sequence constructed to perform operations according to business requirements.&#x20;
* Flows use Flow components as the building blocks of the business process.&#x20;
* When a Flow component is placed in the Flow, it becomes an Activity in the Flow.&#x20;
* Flows can be triggered from other Langstack application templates, including APIs, Processes, and Validations.
* Users can log the progression of the execution of the Flow in an entity.
* An entity must be loaded for a Flow to be created, i.e., it must be Qualified before creating the Flow. (see image below)&#x20;
