            Start a Flow with a Button

            There are different ways to start a flow from a button. The type of button determines the type of flow you can start, where users can see the button, what variable values you can send into the flow.

            Required Editions

            Review the available flow types, locations, variables, and ways the variable values get populated to help you determine which type of button to use.
