FlowGeneration

FlowGeneration is created to initiate the generation of a flow based on a specific configuration. The FlowGeneration resource encapsulates the configuration of the flow to be generated, including the flow type, parameters, and context. Once a flow generation is created, the generation of a flow is queued and will be processed by the system. When the flow is generated the status of a flow generation will be updated to finished.

Synchronous Flow Generation

In the sandbox environment we allow for synchronous flow generation. This means that the response to the POST request will wait until the flow is generated and return the finished FlowGeneration object containing the flowId. This is useful for development and testing purposes as it prevents you having to implement full webhook handling. To enable this feature you can add the query parameter ?sync=true to the POST request.

This feature is not available in the production environment.

Endpoints

• GET /flow-generations - Retrieves a list of all flow generation configurations.

• GET /flow-generations/{id} - Retrieves a specific flow generation configuration by ID.

• POST /flow-generations - Creates a new flow generation.

• DELETE /flow-generations/{id} - Deletes a specific flow generation by ID.'
