   Note:

   When a flow is triggered by a record being created or updated in a data table, it's referred to as a record-based flow. Record-based flows display in the list of logic and automation with a distinct icon (). These flows open up within the Flows tab in Table Builder if you are licensed for Table Builder for App Engine and have it installed. Contact your account team for details. For more information on flows functionality in Table Builder, see Flows in Table Builder.
