# Creating flows

A flow is built in the [flow builder](/studio/flows/flow-builder) as a connected chain of nodes — a Start node, the questions, messages, logic, and integration steps in between, and an End node.

## Quick start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Flows">
    Navigate to **Flows** in Studio.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new flow">
    Click **New flow** and give it a name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add and connect nodes">
    Add nodes from the [node library](/studio/flows/flow-builder#node-library) and connect each one to the step that should come next.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure logic and validation">
    Add [conditions](/studio/flows/flow-builder#conditional-logic) to branch the journey, and set [validation](/studio/flows/flow-builder#validation) on questions so candidates provide what you need.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save the flow so it can be referenced from your careers site.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Presentation modes

A flow defines *what* you collect, not *how* it looks. The same flow can be rendered in different presentation modes when you embed it on your careers site through the SDK:

* **Form** — a traditional form experience
* **Chatbot** — a conversational experience
* **Agent** — an agent-led experience (coming soon)

See the [SDK plugins](/sdk/plugins/overview) for how flows are embedded on your careers site.
