AI Flow Builder: Build a Flow from a Prompt

Updated

Don’t want to click through every node by hand? Describe the automation in plain English and let the Flow Assistant build it for you.

Start it from + New automation → AI assisted flow builder, or from the Describe the flow you want to build… bar at the bottom of the Flow builder canvas.

Describe what you want → answer anything the assistant asks → watch it build → review the generated flow → edit as needed → publish.

The assistant doesn’t invent the parts of your request you left out. Ask it to classify contacts by whether they follow you and it will come back with the one thing it can’t infer — which trigger should start the flow — and let you tick the events you want.

A plain-English request, and the assistant asking which trigger should start it

Then it builds, narrating each node as it goes — nodes added, and the connections wired between them.

The assistant adding and connecting nodes, with the flow taking shape on the canvas behind it
  • “When someone comments ‘link’ on my post, send them the download link.”
  • “If a follower sends pricing, tag them as a lead and send our pricing brochure.”
  • “Collect email addresses from users who comment FREEBIE.”
  • “Classify my clients by setting the client field true or false based on whether they’ve followed me.”

Getting a working starting point fast, especially if node-by-node building feels intimidating at first. What it produces is an ordinary flow — every node is one you could have added yourself, and every one of them is editable.

Check that the trigger, message content, conditions and actions match what you actually meant. Treat it as a first draft from a very fast intern, not a finished flow.
