# Flow

Flow Steps provide essential control mechanisms that determine how your workflows operate and process data. These powerful tools enable conditional logic, iteration, human intervention, and error handling to create sophisticated workflow behaviors.

The Flow Steps include:

1. [**Condition**](/actions/workflow-concepts/workflow-steps/flow/conditional.md) -- create branching paths in your workflow based on logical expressions
2. [**Iteration**](/actions/workflow-concepts/workflow-steps/flow/iteration.md) -- loop through data sets to process items one by one
3. [**Human Review**](/actions/workflow-concepts/workflow-steps/flow/human-review.md) -- pause workflows for manual review and approval
4. [**Content Comparison**](/actions/workflow-concepts/workflow-steps/flow/content-comparison.md) -- identify and visualize differences between content versions
5. [**Error**](/actions/workflow-concepts/workflow-steps/flow/error-step.md) -- handle specific error scenarios with custom messaging

Flow Steps act as the decision-making framework for your workflows, allowing you to implement complex business logic, quality control checkpoints, and fallback mechanisms. By combining these steps, you can create workflows that respond intelligently to different scenarios, process large datasets efficiently, and maintain quality through human oversight.

Use Condition steps to route your workflow based on data values, Iteration steps to process lists of items, Human Review steps to ensure quality through manual checks, Content Comparison steps to highlight differences between content versions, and Error steps to gracefully handle exceptions with user-friendly messages.

Note: Flow Steps are primarily designed for Workflow applications. Some steps may have limited functionality when used in Agents.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.airops.com/actions/workflow-concepts/workflow-steps/flow.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
