Start Node — The starting point of every flow

Every flow created in Spaceflow begins with a start node. It is responsible for defining how and when the flow will be activated.

Start Node Settings

Node Name

• Starts with "start" as the default, but can be customized.

Trigger Type

Choose how the flow will be started:

• Manual: The flow is started manually via the "Start" button on the flow panel.
• Events: Monitors specific actions, such as a form submission or the completion of a step.
• Webhook: Allows triggering the flow via an external HTTP request.
• Timer: (Coming soon) Configure the start based on date/time.

Scope

Select the category (such as "Contracts", "Requests", etc.) that will serve as the trigger for starting the flow. (Based on the categories created in your workspace.)

Event Action

Define which change to the item should trigger the flow:

• Creation
• Update
• Deletion

Form (for Creation action)

When the selected action is Creation, you can define which form will be used as the event source. This allows the flow to be triggered only when an item is created from a specific form, providing greater control over the flow's initial behavior.

Event Conditionals

You can add conditions to determine whether the flow should start based on specific fields or values.

Link Item

Activate to connect the flow directly to the source item. This allows tracking and querying this relationship within the item's card.

Dynamic Title

Customize the flow title based on dynamic fields.
