Click Activate.

For the flow that you want to run, click , and select View Details and Versions.
Copy the flow's URL.
The format of the URL is /flow/My_Flow.

Append the flow URL to your org's URL. Then, add /lightning to the start of the URL.

Note We recommend using Lightning experience and adding /lightning to the beginning of your flow URL. However, if you don't add /lightning to the flow URL, it still works, you just don't get the new benefits of running in Lightning. To learn more, see Choosing Between Lightning and Non-Lightning Flow URL Formats.
For example:
```
https://yourDomain.my.salesforce.com/lightning/flow/MyFlowName
```
If the flow was installed from a managed package, include the namespace prefix in the flow URL. For example:
```
https://yourDomain.my.salesforce.com/lightning/flow/namespace/MyFlowName
```
If the flow is run from a page hosted on an Experience Cloud site, include the full site path in the flow URL.
```
https://x.my.site.com/mysitepath/s/lightning/flow/myFlowName
```
To set the initial values of your flow's variables, append ?flow__variable1=value1&flow__variable2=value2 to the URL.
To learn more about sending variable values to your flow, see Send Variable Values to a Flow Using the Flow's URL

Note Optionally, you can customize what happens when the flow ends. To learn more, see Customize Flow Finish Behavior.

Now you can share the flow's web address (URL). When a user clicks the link, the screen flow or autolaunched flow starts running.
