Inbound participant experiences are comprised of a series of actions connected to each other to form a flow. In order to start the flow creation process, contact center administrators can add a new flow to the application. In order to create and modify channel workflows, you will need to use the flow editor, which is a graphical programing environment for creating and modifying channel workflows once you have added a flow.
