Hi all,
We are making a flow designer we don't know where we can trigger this designer, or how can we connect the flow designer with the UI.

Hi @poonam_sharma1,
Flow trigger will be depend on your flow trigger type, what you have selected there based on that flow will be automatically get triggered.
For example: If your triggered condition is create and update, then you have define a table in which record is created or updated lets say you have defined incident table. Now in this case you flow will automatically triggered when an incident is created or updated.
If you define only on update: Then flow will triggered when record is update but not on creation.
If you define any schedule : Then based on your schedule date and time flow will automatically triggered.
Only if you select on Creation of Service Catalog you need to define the flow in your catalog item.
For more detail about trigger option you can flow this product document : https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/vancouver-build-workflows/page/administer/flow-designer/ref...
Apart from this you can also trigger flow from Server Side scripts using Flow API's for this you can refer this product document : https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-integrate-applications/page/administer/integrationhub/c...
