Using A Flow

A Flow is a step-by-step process to execute a project in Orbit Flows. This article explains how to select and start a Flow, choose between different Flow types, and pin Flows to templates for quick access.

A Flow is an automated, step-by-step system that guides you through the beginning of setup to the completion of your project by organizing your inputs into a simple, streamlined content creation process.

Use a Flow

1. Create a new project or open an existing one

2. When the project opens, you'll be prompted to select a Flow

3. Choose the appropriate Flow for your project

4. If you dismiss the Flow selection prompt, you can access it again by clicking the "Start a Flow" button

Choosing a Flow

There are currently three Flows available, with more planned for the future:

Write Project

• The most common, general-purpose Flow

• Guides you through setting up inputs, generating content, editing, and completing the project

• Best for: Standard content creation tasks like blog posts, emails, and social media content

Repurpose Content

• Begins by having you select existing content to transform

• Proceeds through inputs, drafting, and generation

• Best for: Content transformations such as turning white papers into blog posts or creating LinkedIn posts from YouTube videos

Research Sources

• Triggers the research engine first to gather information on your topic

• Allows you to select which sources to use before generating content

• Best for: Research-based newsletters, curation content, and in-depth articles requiring external sources

Pinning a Flow to a Template

If you have a custom template that works best with a specific Flow, you can pin that Flow to make it appear first in the selection list:

1. Go to Templates

2. Select your template

3. Navigate to the Flows section

4. Click the pin button on your preferred Flow

How do I choose the right Flow for my project?
To choose the right Flow, start by assessing the nature of your project and the outcome you’re aiming for. Each Flow is clearly labeled with its purpose, making it easier for you to determine which one aligns with your immediate project needs.
