The Start block

The Start block represents the starting point of a Flow. The Start block is also the entry point for webhook data in published Flows. When you create a new Flow, the Start block is already on the canvas.

Output

The Start block's single output will trigger any connected blocks.

Setup

The Start block appears automatically on every new Flow's canvas. In a new Flow, the Start block is connected to three buttons you can select to add a Send Request block to your canvas, open the blocks list, or explore the Flows Catalog.

You can connect the Start block to any blocks you want to run simultaneously at the beginning of a Flow's run. However, most blocks will execute automatically when you run the Flow or when they receive data from another block.

If your Flow is published and receives data from webhook, the Start block sends the webhook data when it's received.

Example
