What Is a Flow
A flow is a set of settings that ArtisanClo uses to process clicks. Inside a flow you define destinations, filters, operating mode, integration link or file, as well as logging and analysis rules.
Main Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | A clear name for search and reporting. |
| Status | An enabled flow accepts clicks; a disabled one should not receive live traffic. |
| Primary Destination | Where the visitor goes if they pass the check. |
| Fallback Destination | Where the visitor goes if they fail the check. |
| Processing Mode | Defines how strictly to apply rules and how to return the decision. |

Naming Recommendations
- Use the project name, country, and source.
- Don’t name all flows identically, otherwise reports become messy.
- For test flows, add a 'test' or 'draft' label.
- After a campaign ends, disable the flow rather than deleting it immediately to preserve history.
Test Before Launch
After any significant change, run a test click and verify the click log. This is faster than troubleshooting after your ads go live.
