Participating in a flow

You can participate in a flow that you've created or been invited to. You can share comments, links, files, images, videos, messages, events or maps, or respond to items posted by other members of the Shareflow.

Sharing Comments and Links

To add a comment or link, just click in the "add a comment or link" text field at the top of the Shareflow tab.

You can use the rich text toolbar to add formatting to your post.

If you type or paste a web link (url), Shareflow will automatically make that a link for others to click on. Shareflow can also recognize some types of links; for example, Shareflow will display a YouTube link as a video.

When you are finished, click the "post comment" button to add your comment to the current flow, or if you are in All flows view, select the flow you wish to post to from the "post comment to..." menu.

Sharing Email

Shareflow makes it easy to share an email with your fellow flow members.

Each flow has a unique email address that you can forward messages to. Once forwarded, the messages will be posted to the flow. To see a flow's email address, select any flow and click the "email" tab at the top of the flow window.

Or, you can use Shareflow to keep track of an email thread. Simply include the flow address in the "cc:" field for each email.

Shareflow will automatically post your email on your selected flow, with a preview of the few words of the message. To view the email in full, click the "read more..." link at the bottom-right of the post.

Creating and Sharing a Map

You can map a location and share it on a flow. This is useful, for example, if you want to give your team directions to the location of an offsite meeting. Click the "map" tab at the top of the flow window, enter the location(s) you wish to map, and click "map address".

Shareflow will display your location on a map.
