# Flows

> Automate business processes

Flows allow you to automate actions based on your extracted data, creating end-to-end automation workflows that connect with your existing systems.

## What are Flows?

Flows are sequences that trigger when extractions are completed. They let you:

* **Process extracted data** immediately after extraction
* **Transform data** to meet specific requirements
* **Send data** to other systems via webhooks and APIs
* **Trigger actions** in your business processes
* **Compare and reconcile** extractions from multiple files
* **Facilitate human review** for approval or manual edits before proceeding
