Review, Simulate, and Activate

Before you activate a flow, review how it is configured and test it where needed.

View Summary​

Use View Summary to check the complete summary of the flow before you make it live.

The summary explains:

  • how the flow will be triggered
  • what data will be fetched
  • which filters will apply
  • what actions or export output will happen

Simulate First​

Use Simulate before activation whenever you want to test a flow against live data without applying live changes.

This is especially useful for:

  • checking that the correct records match the filters
  • reviewing action results before they go live
  • estimating task usage for the run

Simulated runs do not count as live production runs for billing usage.

For export flows, simulation should be treated as a preview. It is there to help you validate the selected rows and file structure before activation, rather than generate a full production export.

Activation Confirmation​

When you switch the flow to active, Flow asks you to confirm that you have reviewed the summary.

This is a safety step before the flow starts running live.

Request Review​

If you want a second check before activation, use Request Review.

This sends a review request to the Slynk team so the flow can be checked through with you.

Info Tab​

The editor also includes an Info tab where you can review:

  • when the flow was created
  • when it was last updated
  • the current settings version

That information is useful when you are checking changes over time or reviewing an older saved version of the flow.
