Flows that turn use cases into repeatable execution
SmartSpace Flows add process logic, triggers, and coordinated execution on top of Workspaces. Connect the steps and integrations needed to run a use case as a repeatable operational process inside your Azure environment.
Process on top of workspaces
Extend any workspace with repeatable logic
Built for operations
Logging, versioning, and governance included
Workspaces and Flows are two distinct layers
Understanding the distinction helps teams build more clearly. Workspaces provide the operational environment. Flows add the process layer on top.
Workspaces
The operational environment
Connected data. Model access. Role-based controls. Ready-to-use interface and APIs. Everything needed to make a use case usable, governed, and accessible.
- One environment per specific use case
- Configuration and governance from day one
- Users interact through interface or API
Flows
The process layer
Steps, logic, triggers, and coordinated execution built on top of Workspaces. Turns a configured environment into a repeatable operational process.
- Process logic and conditional execution
- Triggers, scheduling, and integrations
- Reusable patterns for consistent execution
Together: Workspaces provide the governed operational environment. Flows coordinate the repeatable processes that run on top. Together they take a use case from configured to consistently operational, inside your Azure environment.
What a Flow is made of
Flows use a configurable block architecture. Connect steps, logic, and integrations in a visual interface. Speed for common patterns. Flexibility for custom operations.
Configurable blocks
Built-in blocks for common operations. Drag, configure, and connect without code.
Inputs and outputs
Define what data flows into each step. Control what emerges from the process.
Tools and integrations
Connect to external systems, APIs, and business tools. Extend your workflows beyond the workspace.
Custom blocks
Technical teams can build custom blocks for specialized logic or proprietary processes.
Why Flows matter
Flows turn a useful workspace into a repeatable operational process. They help teams move from one-off interactions to consistent, governed execution at scale.
Repeatable execution
Run the same process consistently. No manual coordination between steps. Less room for error.
Multi-step coordination
Chain together operations that would otherwise require manual handoff or custom integration.
Flexible logic and branching
Conditional execution. Parallel operations. Support for complex business processes without rebuilding.
From experimentation to operation
Start with a simple process. Refine, extend, and scale as the operational need grows.
Standard and custom blocks
Common operational patterns are built in for immediate use. For specialized needs, the SDK lets technical teams build and deploy custom blocks alongside standard ones.
Standard building blocks
Conditional logic, API calls, data transformations, and scheduling are built in. Configure these blocks for immediate use without custom development.
- No custom development required
- Faster time to operational flow
- Consistent pattern library
Custom blocks and SDK
For specialized or proprietary operations, use the SDK to build custom blocks. Extend Flows without rebuilding the platform. Integrate domain-specific logic.
- SDK library for custom extensions
- Build once, reuse across flows
- Flexibility without platform lock-in
Refine and control flows over time
Flows aren't write-once. Observe how they run. Debug when needed. Refine as business requirements evolve. Version control keeps you safe and organized.
Graphical visibility
See the entire flow mapped visually. Understand how each step connects. Spot gaps or inefficiencies at a glance.
Built-in logging and debugging
View step-by-step execution logs. See what data moved through each block. Debug failures faster and with confidence.
Version control and templates
Save flow versions. Roll back if needed. Reuse proven flows as templates for similar operations.
For teams that need to go deeper
Flows support technical extension through developer tooling and integration capabilities without requiring changes to the core platform.
Developer tools
Tooling for building and testing custom blocks before deploying them to your workspace. Extend Flows for specialised logic.
Integration with external systems
Connect Flows to your existing tools, APIs, and business systems. REST integrations and event-driven connections supported.
Build and test without platform changes
Extend Flows independently. Deploy custom blocks alongside standard ones. No core platform re-architecture needed.
From one process to consistent rollout
Start with one operational flow around one workspace. As it proves successful, create similar flows for related workspaces using the same patterns. Reuse templates. Maintain governance consistency. Scale execution without rebuilding logic.
Reuse patterns
Once a flow works, save it as a template. New teams adopt the same pattern without rebuilding.
Consistent governance
Apply the same execution standard across teams. Governance and audit trails follow the same pattern everywhere.
Faster rollout
Each new flow reuses proven templates. Implementation speed improves with every successful pattern.
Ready to build repeatable AI processes?
Flows extend Workspaces into operational processes. Connect steps, logic, and integrations. Run them consistently inside your Azure environment.
Flows sit on top of Workspaces, which sit on top of SmartSpace Infrastructure. Together they support operational AI from foundation to execution.
