How to optimice the same actions in every flow?

(Pablo Leonhart) #1

Hi everyone, I have a little question from a beginner in floxo.
I have 5 actions, that I need to repeat in every flow in the bot (for reports purpose). What do you recommend me to not copy in every flow the same 5 actions repetedly?
I don’t want to use attributes, because I need to use 5 gets instead in every flow too.
This 5 actions are all “slice text” from the actual “Date / Time”.

Thanks a lot

Hi Pablo,

It really depends on exactly what you are trying to do here and how the results of these steps are used, but generally unfortunately it would be to recreate the steps. Dependent on where you are creating your flow you could have a basic flow with just those actions in it and then each time you create a new flow you copy this flow and then add your flow logic around the reporting steps.

You might be able to split these 5 steps out into a different flow, however you’ll still have to set up Trigger a Flow actions in each flow and probably also a Get Attribute(s) to be able to use the outputs of the 5 actions in the other flow. :confused:
