A run is an execution of a flow/automation on Flowsite. These appear as new lines in your runs table like below:

How do I calculate how many runs I'll use?

  • Runs are dependent on the trigger you select on Flowsite

Trigger: Form Signed

  • For the form signed trigger, a new run is created each time a specific workflow signature is signed and the form moves into a specified column (specified on the flow)

  • Calculation:

    • Take a timesheet template as the example

    • You have 10 employees filling in a weekly personal timesheet form

    • Taking all 10 timesheets through the approval process into the last column "Done" would result in a total of 10 runs / week

    • Resulting in roughly 40 runs / month for this single template

Trigger: Recurring Time

  • For the recurring time trigger, a new run is created each time the flow is repeated

  • So if you select 1 hour for example for a single flow, you would have 24 runs / day and roughly 720 runs / month

  • Further examples of run calculations based on recurring time trigger selected for 1 flow:

    • Day = 30 runs / month (1 * 30)

    • 12 hours = 60 runs / month (2 * 30)

    • 4 hours = 180 runs / month (6 * 30)

    • 1 hour = 720 runs / month (24 * 30)
