Publishing and sending your flow

Publish your flow

Remember, once a Flow has been published it can no longer be modified. See Flow Status Lifecycle for more information on the different Flow states.

When you first created your Flow, it entered the Draft state. And as you edited and saved the modified Flow JSON content, it remained in the Draft state. You are able to send the Flow while it's in the Draft state, but only for testing purposes. If you want to send the Flow to a larger audience, you'll need to Publish the Flow.

You can publish your Flow once you have ensured that:

• All validation errors and publishing checks have been resolved.

• The Flow meets the design principles of WhatsApp Flows

• The Flow complies with WhatsApp Terms of Service, the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy and, if applicable, the WhatsApp Commerce Policy

To publish your Flow, open the menu to the right of the Save button and click Publish. Once published, the Flow can be sent to anyone!
