Automation with Globus Flows

Learn how to start a run of a flow using the Globus Flows service. Flows define reusable automations within the Globus ecosystem — and each time they are run, a run is created to track that execution.

The Run a Flow tutorial will walk you through starting a flow and supplying input to that flow to use it with your own Globus Collections.

You will become familiar with flows and runs, and how to use flows that others have written, including flows provided by the Globus team.

A run of a flow may be a long-running process. Some runs finish in minutes, but others may continue for hours or even days.

The Run Monitoring tutorial will walk you through how to use the Globus web application to check on the status of your runs and monitor them until completion, as well as providing access to other users and groups so that they can also manage a run and monitor its progress.

Having covered the basics of running and monitoring flows, you may be interested in authoring flows of your own.

The Flow Creation tutorial provides an overview of the steps involved in creating your own flows.

You can immediately start experimenting with creating and running a simple flow to move and share data using our Jupyter notebook, or watch an overview of automating instrument data handling or a tutorial on building and running your own flows.
