Add a flow to a custom application with app generation

Add a flow to a custom application by asking Now Assist. Describe what you want the flow to do, or ask Now Assist for suggestions.

Before you begin

Starting with the Australia release, app generation is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported. Build Agent provides the latest experience for this functionality. For more information, see Build Agent.

Role required: now_assist_panel_user

Note:

If you have users that only need to edit (not create) apps, they can be assigned the delegated_developer or now_assist_panel_user roles.

To add a flow to an application created using app generation, enable the Now Assist for Creator flow generation skill and confirm that you have a flow_designer role. For more information, see Flow generation.
