Workspace AI for how-to questions, CRM search, and record-scoped help from the Flow panel.

6 min readUpdated June 2026

Before you begin

  • Ask Flow uses the same product help as flowforce.app/docs
  • Available on Dashboard and record pages (lead, deal, form, listing)
  • Uses credits for AI chat and tool calls

Open Ask Flow

  • Header → Flow chat on any dashboard page
  • Lead or deal detail → Flow tab for record context
  • Command palette — jump to pages; Flow answers how-to separately
  • On listings and forms, context includes the open record id

What Flow can do

  • Answer how-to questions with links to public docs
  • Search leads, deals, and contacts when permitted
  • Summarize timeline activity on the open record
  • Suggest next steps grounded in emails, calls, and meetings

Ask Flow vs AI Agents

  • Ask Flow — you ask; AI responds on demand
  • AI Agents — automated follow-up with approval queue — /docs/outreach/ai-agents/
  • Both read the same CRM timeline

Common issues

  • Generic answers — open Flow from the specific lead or deal page
  • Tool blocked — check role permissions and credits
  • Wrong record — confirm URL matches the lead you mean
