Accountability in the data flow

Every flow's data chain contains information about who or what started the flow, for easier debugging and security.

Blocking and non-blocking flows

Build validation steps that halt data entry or edits until the flow successfully completes, or run in parallel if suitable for your use case.

A robust set of triggers

Trigger a flow when data changes, on a schedule, with an inbound Webhook, when another flow runs, or manually.

Integrate with external services.

Integrate other systems with HTTP triggers, outbound webhooks, HTTP requests as an operation mid-flow, or through running sandboxed code directly in each invocation. You can also build custom operations as an extension type.

Collect data when running flows.

Using confirmation prompts for manual flow triggers, collect information from users when starting a flow. 

Combine with other tools in the Directus toolkit.

Whether you specialize in frontend, backend, or fullstack, you'll get a suite of dev tools that'll make you even more efficient.
