Flows
A series of API calls is called a Flow in Treblle.
Flows lets you group API requests that together are used to achieve a particular task like registering a user.
Let’s take registering a user for example.
Perhaps to register a user, your flow might include requests to do the following:
- Verify username
- Send email verification
- Verify email
With flows, Treblle makes it easy to communicate these series of API calls to someone that wants to integrate with your API as they can see which requests they have to make for each step, what data to be sent and what to expect back.
To access your flows for a project, click on the Flows tab of that project.
Create a new flow
To create a flow, click on the dropdown menu on a request and then click on the Add to flow button.
If this is your first time trying to add a request to a flow, you will be presented with a form that will prompt you to give the flow a name and description.
If you already have flows in your project dashboard, you can click on the Create a new flow button to create a new flow.
Once you are done, click on the Create flow and add request button to both create a flow and the request to that flow.

If you already have one or more flows in a project, you can click on the top-right menu of a request and then click on the Add to flow button which will open a modal for you to select the flow you want to add the request to.
