Check that it works

  1. Ask for the menu. Type flow menu as a normal message (no leading slash — in Claude Desktop and ChatGPT the “/” key belongs to the app).
  2. Save something small. Type flow save Our support line opens at 08:00.
  3. Recall it elsewhere. Open a new chat, or a different assistant, and ask “When does our support line open?”

Commands are read by the assistant, not by a fixed parser. If one is misunderstood, say “use the flow tool with command …”.

Sign-in and tokens

Connectors sign in through your browser; there is no token to paste. Developers can also create personal API tokens in the admin console for scripts. A read-only token can search but never save.
