Automation

Flow

Flow is the library where your automations live. Every flow you save from Flow Studio AI lands here as a script file, and the Flow panel is where you come back to run it — today, next week, on the next hundred designs.

Open it with ArtisanFlow, or from Flow Panel in the ribbon’s Flow Studio menu.

The panel

Each saved flow appears as a card with its name and description, a Run button, and a menu with Edit code, Rename, and Delete. The output box at the bottom shows what the run printed, prefixed OK or Error.

Every card carries a color dot — click it to cycle through eight colors and use them however you organize your work: by client, by task, by maturity. The dots in the toolbar filter the list to one color; click the active dot again to see everything.

Three more toolbar buttons: creates a new flow by opening Flow Studio AI, Open scripts folder takes you to the files themselves, and Refresh re-reads the list.

What a flow is on disk

A flow is a self-contained Python file in the AssistantScripts folder of your Artisan user folder, with its name, description, and color stored in a small comment header. There is no database and no sidecar files — which means flows can be backed up, version-controlled, and shared with a colleague by sending the file; anything dropped into the folder shows up in the panel.

Edit code opens the file in the code editor configured in Options → Artisan → Folders, or your system’s default editor for .py files.
