This page outlines how to create actionflows and details of each node. 

Creating an Actionflow

Any Phixflow component with an  tab can have an actionflow added to it. 

To create an actionflow:

1. In a screen, click a component to display its properties. Components that can have actions are:
   • buttons
   • grid view 
   • card/container
   • areas
   • form fields
2. There are 3 ways to add actionflows. In the component properties →  ActionflowSettings:
   • Adding via an event handler
     • click  Add New
     • Event Type select an event type
     • Action Method select Actionflow
     •  Apply
     • Actionflow, click  Add New
       
   • Adding via an action directly
     • Action Method select Actionflow
     • Actionflow, click  Add New.
       
       
       
   • Quick add for buttons
     • Right click on a button and select Add actionflow
       
       
       
3. PhixFlow opens the actionflow canvas.
4. Drag actions from the toolbar onto the central canvas 
5. Wire the actionflow and connect
   • instance inputs
   • action nodes
   • instance outputs (optional)

For more detail on actionflow nodes and wiring, see below.
