Create a flow

You can create a flow from a template, from scratch, or from an existing paywall.

Want to learn more about building flows? Watch step-by-step video tutorials in our YouTube playlist.

Create flow

Create flow menu with Start from scratch and Browse templates options
  1. Open the Flows page.
  2. Click Create flow.
  3. Pick an option:
    • Browse templates (opens the Template library)
    • Start from scratch (creates an empty flow)
  4. Rename the flow in the editor. Click the flow name in the header and enter a new name.
Rename the flow name in the top toolbar
Warning

Adapty allows duplicate flow names. Rename each new flow, or you’ll create multiple Untitled flows that are hard to tell apart.

Use a template

Template library modal with template cards

The Template library contains several templates that act as a starting point for your flow. Each is a complete flow with multiple screens, interactive elements, and working navigation. You can edit any element to customize it.

To apply a template:

  1. In the Template library, browse the template cards. Each card shows preview screenshots from a flow.
  2. Click Use as template on the card you want.

The template loads in the builder. From here, you can change any element, screen, or property.

Start from scratch

Empty flow with a single blank screen in the builder

Start from Scratch creates a flow with a single blank screen. Design the screen with elements from the elements library.

Migrate a paywall from the legacy Paywall Builder

Main article: Convert a paywall into a flow

Instead of building a flow from a template, you can convert a legacy paywall you already have.

Open the paywall’s dashboard page and click Move to new builder. Adapty recreates the paywall as a new draft flow — keeping the layout, text, products, and localizations. The old paywall remains functioning to allow for a smooth transition.

Move to new builder button in the paywall action row

Change the template

You can switch templates from inside the builder. Open the Screens panel and click the Templates button to reopen the Template library, then pick a new template.

Warning

Applying a new template replaces your current flow draft. Adapty asks you to confirm — click Use template to proceed, or Cancel to keep your draft. Once confirmed, the previous draft can’t be restored. The published flow stays live and unaffected.

Custom fonts in templates

Main article: Custom fonts in the Flow Builder

Custom font chip on a template card with the warning tooltip

Templates marked with a Custom font chip use custom fonts. These fonts don’t ship with the mobile SDK. Hover the chip to see which fonts the template uses.

To see the intended typography on device, add the font files to your app bundle. Older app versions that don’t ship the font fall back to a system font.

To swap a font without affecting older versions, copy the flow, change the font in the copy, and restrict the copy to app versions that include the font.
