# Flows

> View configured automations, inspect execution history, and manage flow email alerts.

Flows are the automated workflows Doris runs in your account. Use the Flows page to understand what automations are configured, whether they are active, when they ran, and what they produced.

<Note>
  Flows are configured with the Doris team. In the console, you can view flows, request new ones, inspect executions, manage email alerts, and toggle company flows when your role allows it.
</Note>

## When to use Flows

* You want to know what Doris automations are running
* You need to check whether a flow is active or disabled
* You want to inspect a recent run, output, or failure
* You want to request a new automation
* You want to manage email alerts for flow-driven notifications

## How to use Flows

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review configured flows">
    Open **Flows** from the sidebar. The **Your Company's Flows** tab lists system, company-wide, and per-user flows.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter the list">
    Use search and filters for scope, status, trigger, and output type. This helps you find the automation responsible for a specific email, brief, CRM update, or scheduled report.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a flow">
    Open a flow to inspect its trigger and step-by-step diagram. The diagram shows what starts the flow and what each step does.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check executions">
    Use the **Executions** tab to review recent runs. Filter by flow or status, then expand a run to see step details and produced outputs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage alerts">
    Use the **Email alerts** tab to control which flow-related notifications you receive.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Flow concepts

* **Trigger** — The event, schedule, or manual action that starts the flow
* **Steps** — The sequence Doris follows after the trigger fires
* **Output** — The email, document, CRM update, notification, or other artifact the flow produces
* **Execution** — A single run of a flow, including status and step details
