- Postman Flows is an API workflow builder for logically connecting APIs. Use Flows in your Postman workspace to chain requests, handle data, and construct real-world workflows. In today’s video, I will be implemented a couple of use cases using Flow from Postman and while configuring the flow, I will be using many building blocks from Postman flow.

Another great video. Thank you for sharing the knowledge
My pleasure!
Thank you for this detail video.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautifully explained... Looking forward to more of such videos...
Thank you
@@TechnicalPotpourri Question: How to display something (which is neither primary nor secondary) on the basis of comparison ?
Sorry for the late reply. But I am not sure about your doubts. Can you please explain what are you looking for? Thanks !!
Hi ! thanks for your tutorial on Postman. I just got access to the feature Flow in Postman. I`m new at using Postman, is it only for testing or could I use Flow to control API automation with triggers(Webhook), rules, schedule and send data to database ?
Yes you can do all these things like API automation with triggers, rules, schedule etc. etc. I will be publishing videos on this topic soon. So please subscribe to my channel to get updates.
@@TechnicalPotpourri Is it possible to get data from the webhook that's triggered in a flow. I can capture data from my database XANO but the latency is really high. Is there a way to get the same data that's triggered by the webhook ?
Very good question. I haven't tried this, but can't think of any reason of this is not possible. Let me try this and I will publish a new video covering this one.
How can in use grpc service call in postman flows?
Please look at these examples: learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/grpc/using-grpc-examples/
in create data box , i cant find the keys of the object returned in body
the body type is string not record{}
Save your API response as example to get the suggestion for response data in Flows
Agreed. Save the API response.
I'm getting a "Request URL is empty" for both of the Send Request calls. How do you validate the first two API calls?
You need to save the api call under your collection. Definitely test before save. And then refer the same saved api call in the flow.
Did the UI of Flows change? I am not able to follow this example.
Yes it has changed. You can get the latest UI with some examples here - How to Chain Requests in Postman Flow to Avoid Performance Issues

why when I create a public workspace, the public workspace automatically changes to a private workspace within a few minutes? what is the setting to make the workspace always public?
In the Overview tab, select Workspace Settings. Under Visibility, select Public from the dropdown list, then Request to Change Visibility. Once you make a workspace public, all entities within that workspace become publicly accessible through the workspace.
Any idea how to parse HTML response output with flows? I can do it in the Collection API Tests tab using below statement but cannot figure out how to do it in flows.
var html = cheerio(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("iFrameToken",html.find('#token').attr('value'));
Let me explore this
What would be the difference in using this instead of a software like Make (integromat)?
This video is not a comparison between Postman and any other software. This video is all about Postman’s feature.
@@TechnicalPotpourri that I understand. I'm just wondering weither there is any plus side using Postman flows instead of the other mentioned tools.
I don't know and can not answer. I always use Postman because it is very stable product and type of API work I do, Postman is always a good fit.
how to you save and obtain the format from response in postman flow?, my output in block send request only describe body is string and this is no configurable
If the response is in string, then as of today it is not possible to parse in configurable way. You need to pass it to some other call to parse and send the information you need as response. So for your scenario, it will be chain of api calls.
You need to save req as example. Than response show up under body
Agreed @ahmetbirinci7768.
