Introduction
Welcome to FME Flow! In this beginner tutorial series, we will provide you with a hands-on experience, guiding you through the fundamentals of getting started with FME Flow. Over the course of four parts, you will learn invaluable skills, including how to access FME Flow, publish workspaces, create self-serve data access, schedule workspaces using FME Flow Automations, and then send emails with attachments, building upon the scheduled automations. Get ready to unlock the full potential of FME Flow and streamline your data workflows like never before!
What is FME Flow?
FME Flow automates the enterprise. By authoring workflows in FME Form and automating them with FME Flow, integrations can be run in real-time, in response to events, on time intervals, or according to business logic. No-code web applications can be built to deliver notifications and provide self-serve data submission and validation to anyone. FME Flow is a part of the FME Platform, including FME Form for workflow/workspace authoring.
Tutorials
The tutorials in this series are meant to be completed in order. However, each article includes instructions for getting started. The tutorial(s) will guide you through the process of uploading a workspace to FME Flow via FME Workbench, running that workspace in FME Flow, creating an automation, and further refining it to send an email. We recommend checking out the Resources section at the end of each article for additional steps to take on your FME Flow journey
FME Form is not required to complete these tutorials, as the workspaces can be uploaded directly through the FME Flow Web Interface
1. Publish a Workspace to FME Flow and Run It
Publish a workspace from FME Workbench (FME Form) to FME Flow, create a new repository, upload data, and then run the workspace in FME Flow.
2. Creating Parameters and Uploading Data for Self-Serve Access
Create user parameters in a workspace to enable self-serve access to data in FME Flow. Also, learn how to upload data to FME Flow so it can be accessed by multiple workspaces and automations.
3. Schedule a Workspace to Run with FME Flow Automations
Create an FME Flow Automation that runs a workspace on a daily schedule and learn how to manually trigger the schedule for testing purposes.
4. Send Emails with Attachments from FME Flow Automations
Continuing from the previous automation, refine it to email an attachment to a user each time the schedule initiates the workspace.
5. Create Self-Serve Access to Data with FME Flow
Create an FME Flow Workspace App using the workspace from the first tutorial.
