# Flow

Flow action block is used to segment parts of your chatbot tree into smaller flows. 

For example, if you have three items in your menu like Explore WotNot / Talk to sales / Support, instead of building all the flows in one tree, you will build three flow with the same names. So that each flow has only its flow in it.

## How does it help? 

* Creating smaller manageable flows for each path
* Easier navigation between conversational flow
* Easier onboarding of teams to the chatbot

* Hold shift and select the area of action blocks you want to move
* Click on the 'Move' icon
* The highlighted flow will be moved to your desired 'Flow' action block

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.wotnot.io/build/action-blocks/flow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
