  1. Select the Templates in the left navigation menu. The list of available templates appears.

  2. Enter AI Builder in the search bar and then press the Enter key. All AI Builder templates are displayed, as shown in the following figure.

  3. Select the Send a notification with the sentiment of manager's email using AI Builder template. You see a summary of the template with a list of the connections that it uses.

    You can save the flow as-is or update it at your convenience:

    • Modify existing actions: input parameters, action name, or advanced parameters
    • Add new actions
    • Remove existing actions (this step is likely to break the actions downstream)
  6. Once you're done, select Save and then you can test the flow.

Create a flow from AI Hub

From AI Hub, you can launch the creation of a flow by using your favorite model.

The following example shows a custom document processing model. The detail page of the model contains a Use model button (the model must be published). Selecting this button opens a right panel that offers multiple options, as shown in the following figure.
