            Embed a Flow in a Custom Aura Component

            To customize how your flow gets and receives data, add it to a custom Aura component. Then distribute that component through a custom action, Lightning tab, or Lightning page.

            Required Editions

            To embed a flow in your Aura component, add the lightning:flow component to it, for example:

            <aura:component>
  <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.init}" /> 
  <lightning:flow aura:id="flowData" />
</aura:component>

            In the JavaScript controller, identify which flow to start, for example:

            ({ 
  init : function (component) { 
    // Find the component whose aura:id is "flowData" 
    const flow = component.find("flowData"); 
    // In that component, start your flow. Reference the flow's API Name. 
    flow.startFlow("myFlow");
  },
})
