Questions
- What happens when I use this flow?
- A copy of the flow is added to your workspace as a draft. Nothing is sent until you connect your account, put in your own links and publish it.
- Can the author see my contacts or messages?
- No. You get your own copy. The author only sees how many teams added the flow, never who they are or what they send.
- Which channel does this flow run on?
- It starts on SMS: SMS received. You can change any step in the flow editor after adding it.
