Flows

What is a flow?

A flow in Leapwork represents a complete automation sequence. Depending on how Leapwork is used, a flow can be:

• A test case (in QA/testing contexts)

• A business process (in RPA/operations contexts)

Flows are created and built visually using Leapwork’s no-code canvas. Each flow contains logic expressed through connected building blocks, and may include verification steps, branching, loops, data-driven logic, and references to reusable components.

Flows are the core unit of automation in Leapwork, they define what gets executed, where, and how.

Flows are visible in two places within Leapwork Studio:

• On the left, in the Flows panel, where they are listed in a folder tree structure along with their associated assets.

• On the right, in the Design Canvas, where the selected flow is opened and displayed as a series of connected building blocks.

From the Flows panel, you can manage flow structure, while from the Design Canvas, you work with the actual logic and steps that make up the flow.

Each flow may include nested assets, such as:

• Subflows

• Captured Elements

• Uploaded Files

• Image Collections

Together, these two areas represent both the organizational and design layers of working with flows in Leapwork.

What you can do with a flow

Right-clicking a flow opens a context menu with various options to manage and execute it. These options allow you to edit, organize, share, or run your automation directly from the panel.
