Start from a template

Load one of eight ready-made templates, or copy the steps from another flow, then edit the wording to suit your event.

Every new flow starts with an email question, a name question, and a thank-you message. To start from something else, open the flow and click Load a template or copy…, pick a template, and click Replace steps. You can edit everything afterward.

Steps

  1. Go to Data Capture Flows and open your flow.
  2. Click Load a template or copy… (at the top of the page, or beside Steps).
  3. Choose A template, then pick one from the list.
  4. Click Replace steps.
  5. Edit the wording of each step. Your business name is already written in.

Loading a template replaces the flow's steps and final message. The trigger stays as it is.

Templates with a handout

Send my slide deck and Give away a download include an Email a handout step with no file yet. The step is marked Needs attention and is skipped until you add the file. Click the step, then choose Existing handout or New handout and upload it. See Upload a file.

Copy steps from another flow

To reuse a flow you've already built, click Load a template or copy…, choose Another data capture flow, pick it under Copy from, and click Replace steps.

To make a whole new flow from an existing one, use Copy on the Data Capture Flows list. The copy gets its own trigger, and changing one doesn't change the other.

Frequently asked questions

Does loading a template change my keyword or QR code?
No. The trigger stays. Only the steps and the final message are replaced.
If I copy steps from another flow, are they linked?
No. After the copy, the two flows are separate. A copied poll becomes a new poll, so votes in one flow never count toward the other.
