Getting Started

1. Create a Flow

  1. Log in to your FlowMetr account
  2. Click "New Flow"
  3. Name your flow and optionally add a description
  4. Assign to a project (optional)

2. Integrate with Your Automation

FlowMetr provides multiple integration methods:

Using Webhooks

  1. Copy your flow's unique webhook URL
  2. Add a webhook step at the start of your workflow
  3. Add another webhook step at the end of your workflow

Platform-Specific Templates

FlowMetr offers pre-built templates for:

  • Make.com
  • n8n
  • Zapier

3. Monitor Your Workflows

Once integrated, you can:

  • View real-time status of all workflows
  • Check detailed execution logs
  • Set up alerts for failures

Core Concepts

Flows

A flow represents a complete workflow or automation that you want to monitor. Each flow has:

  • A unique identifier
  • Start and end points
  • Optional checkpoints for detailed monitoring

Runs

Each execution of a flow is called a "run." A run tracks:

  • Start and end times
  • Duration
  • Success/failure status
  • Any errors encountered

Measurement Points

These are specific points in your workflow that you want to monitor:

  • Start: When the workflow begins
  • Checkpoints: Key points in the workflow
  • Stop: When the workflow completes successfully
  • Error: When an error occurs

Best Practices

  1. Naming Conventions

    • Use descriptive names for flows and checkpoints
    • Include environment prefixes (e.g., "DEV_", "PROD_") if applicable
  2. Error Handling

    • Always implement error handling in your workflows
    • Use the error measurement points to track failures
  3. Monitoring

    • Set up alerts for critical workflows
    • Regularly review performance metrics to identify optimization opportunities
