Is there a way to automate flow creation

Hi @MiltonEus,

Welcome to the community!

At the moment, there isn’t an API endpoint to “Create Flow” via a POST request like there is to “Create Campaign”. So, to my knowledge, it’s not possible to automatically create a flow. It’s an interesting use case though and you may certainly not be the first to desire this type of feature.

Just to brainstorm a possible workaround, would there be a way to create an evergreen event-triggered flow off of that custom metric (e.g. “Pre-order Passed Objective”) and assigning that metric as an event to all profiles who expressed interest towards the product? Which would enable them to enter the flow?

The metric could contain a top-level property (e.g. “Pre-order Name”) with a unique value for each pre-order initiative. That would allow you to reference that property within the flow structure (if helpful).

I see where it could get complicated if each pre-order initiative requires unique flow criteria / structure. But, wanted to share a few thoughts there.

Cheers,
Bobby

@MiltonEus I’m wondering if there’s a way to execute the below workflow:

1. When a user expresses interest in the pre-order, trigger an event (e.g. “Registered for Pre-order”) to their profile
   • This should be relatively straightforward to execute with custom event tracking
2. When the pre-order reaches 50% of target, re-send the list of “Registered for Pre-order” events to the same profiles but with the current timestamp. Before sending the event, change the name of the event to “Eligible for Pre-order”, for example.

I’m not sure if it’s possible to execute that workflow within your app. But, it sounds like the primary purpose of the second event is to simply trigger a flow message when the pre-order has reached 50% toward its objective. It sounds like it doesn’t contain any additionally-necessary event properties?
