In a flow
“When a thread is created, the steps wired after it run.”
Welcome the poster and ping the helpers.
What it does
Someone starts a thread or a forum post. Threads made by bots don't count. It starts a flow, and gives the steps after it values about what happened. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Starts when in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to start a flow when a thread is created.
When not to
