Introduction to flows

Flows let you automate the work that comes after a meeting or file upload — summarizing, exporting, notifying your team. Instead of doing these steps by hand every time, you build them once and let Klang handle the rest.

What is a flow

A flow is a series of steps connected in a visual editor. Each step is a node that does one thing: read a file, generate a summary, send a Slack message, or save to Google Drive. You connect nodes together, and data moves through them from start to finish.

The editor uses a drag-and-drop canvas. Add nodes from the sidebar, connect them with lines, and configure each one by clicking on it.

What you can do with flows

A few examples of what teams use flows for:

• Summarize every new transcription and send the summary to a Slack channel
• Export meeting notes to Google Drive or OneDrive after each call
• Generate structured interview reports and save them as documents in Klang
• Post client meeting summaries to Pipedrive or HubSpot as CRM notes
• Send a daily digest of key points to Microsoft Teams

Each of these is a combination of an input node, one or more processing nodes, and an output node.

Templates

You do not need to build every flow from scratch. Klang includes templates for common workflows — summary to Slack, transcript to Google Drive, interview analysis, CRM notes for Pipedrive and HubSpot, and more.

Pick a template, adjust the settings to match your needs, and run it right away or set it to run automatically.

Running a flow

There are two ways to run a flow:

• Manually — Open a flow, click Run, select the file you want to process, and review the result
• With a trigger — Set the flow to run automatically when new content arrives, for example every time a transcription finishes or a file is uploaded to a specific folder

Manual runs are good for one-off tasks. Triggers are better when you want the same processing applied to every new file without thinking about it.
