Product updates, hands-on guides, and automation playbooks from the team building FlowFn.
Build a Client Portal with FlowFn
Agencies, consultancies, and B2B teams all hit the same wall: clients want a single place to check their projects, invoices, and files — and emailing PDFs back and forth doesn't scale. A client portal fixes it, but building multi-tenant auth (each client sees only their own data) usually means real engineering. In FlowFn it doesn't: end-user sign-in, per-client data scoping, and a polished portal page are features you assemble, not code you write.

Build an Incident Alerting & On-Call System with FlowFn
When something breaks at 3am, the difference between a blip and an outage is how fast the right person's phone buzzes. You don't need a pricey incident-management platform to get there. FlowFn can catch an alert from any monitor, log the incident, page whoever's on call, escalate if they don't answer, and show the whole team a live status board — built from a webhook, a workflow, a Data Sheet, and a dashboard.

Build an Internal Ops Tool with FlowFn
Every company runs on a pile of small approvals — refunds, access requests, expenses, discounts — and most of them live in a shared spreadsheet plus a Slack thread nobody can audit. An internal ops tool fixes that: one private table your team works from, action buttons that approve or reject in a click, automatic notifications, and a queue board so nothing rots. FlowFn lets you build it in an afternoon — no internal-tools platform, no login wall to wire up.

Build a Feedback & NPS Pipeline with FlowFn
Most feedback dies in a spreadsheet nobody reads. The value isn't in collecting responses — it's in knowing, this week, what people love, what they're frustrated by, and which unhappy customer needs a call today. FlowFn turns raw survey answers into that: a form collects responses, an AI step scores each one's sentiment and tags its theme, detractors trigger an alert, and a live dashboard shows the trend.

Build an Online Store with FlowFn
You don't need Shopify to sell a handful of products. You need a storefront, a way to take payment, and something that turns a paid order into a shipped package without you copying details between five tabs. FlowFn does all of it: a storefront page, a Stripe checkout, an orders database, and a fulfillment workflow that emails the receipt, pings the warehouse, and tracks the order to delivery.

Build an Event Registration & Live Check-in System with FlowFn
Running an event means two jobs a spreadsheet can't do well: take registrations online, and know — in real time — who's actually walked through the door. FlowFn does both. A registration form fills an attendee list, an emailed QR ticket gets people in, and a live count updates the moment each person scans in, so your team can watch the room fill without counting heads.

Build an AI Help Chatbot from Your Docs with FlowFn
Your help center already has the answers — customers just won't read it. An AI assistant that reads your docs for them, answers in plain language, cites the source article, and hands off to a human when it's stumped will deflect most of your repetitive tickets. You can build one in FlowFn without training a model or wiring up a vector database: put your articles in a Data Sheet, point an Agent at them, and embed the widget.

Build an Appointment Booking System with FlowFn
No-shows are expensive, and phone tag is worse. The fix is a booking flow that lets clients pick a slot themselves, confirms it instantly, and quietly texts a reminder the day before — so your calendar fills itself and your chairs stay full. You can build the whole thing in FlowFn: a booking page, a workflow that confirms, a Data Sheet of appointments, a scheduled reminder, and a live schedule board.

Build a Lead-Scoring Pipeline with FlowFn
Marketing sends over a pile of leads; sales works the loud ones and the good ones go cold. The fix isn't a bigger CRM — it's a pipeline that captures every lead, scores it the moment it lands, and puts the hot ones in front of a rep while they're still warm. You can build exactly that in FlowFn: a landing page, an AI-scoring workflow, a leads database, and a live pipeline dashboard — no CRM subscription required.

Build a Customer Support Desk with FlowFn
Support usually starts in someone's inbox and ends in chaos — tickets lost, priorities guessed, the same "where's my refund?" answered five times. In an afternoon you can build a real help desk on FlowFn instead: a public form that files tickets, an AI that triages them and drafts a reply (with a human in the loop), a Slack ping for the team, a live dashboard, and a status page for customers. Here's the whole thing, wired end to end.

The Money Layer — Billing, Credits & Cost Guards in FlowFn
Everything you build eventually runs, and running costs something. FlowFn meters that with credits, caps it with plan limits, and — crucially for anything public — protects it with cost guards so a viral form or a runaway bot can't drain your account. This is the one page that answers "what am I spending, what are my limits, and what happens when I hit them?"

Automate FlowFn Itself — The Platform API & Management MCP
Everything you build in FlowFn — apps, workflows, agents, data sheets — you can also build about FlowFn from the outside. The Platform API is a control-plane for authoring your FlowFn resources over REST, and the Management MCP is the same thing exposed to an AI client. One personal token unlocks both, so you can script your workspace with `curl`, or just tell Claude "create an agent that…" and watch it appear.
