Review, Simulate, and Activate

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

The actions at the bottom of the builder stay visible as you work through the page.

View Summary​

Use View summary to check the complete setup before you make the flow live.

The summary explains:

  • when the flow will run
  • what data will be fetched
  • which filters will apply
  • which fields will be exported
  • how rows will be organised
  • where the file will be delivered

Simulate First​

Open More actions and choose Simulate whenever you want to preview a flow against live data without creating a live export.

This is especially useful for:

  • checking that the correct records match the filters
  • reviewing export output before it goes live
  • estimating row 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 helps you validate the selected rows and file structure rather than generate a full production export.

Activate the Flow​

Choose Settings and enable Flow is active when the flow is ready to run.

When you save and activate a flow, Flow asks you to confirm the change before it starts running live.

Request Review​

If you want a second check before activation, open More actions and choose Request review.

This creates a support ticket for the Slynk team to review the flow and get back to you.

Save Changes​

Choose Save changes after making updates in the builder.

If you try to run or simulate a flow with unsaved changes, Flow asks you to save before continuing.

The created date, updated date, and settings version are available in the Flow information section of the Settings panel.
