# Create a flow

`POST /flows`

Create a flow that binds a trigger (`triggerId`) to an ordered list of actions, with at least one action required. Optional settings include target `deviceIds`, a cooldown (`cooldownSeconds`/`cooldownScope`), and webhook notifications on success or failure.

  - `selfHealingEnabled` boolean
  - `selfHealingMaxAttempts` integer
  - `actions` FlowActionInput[], required

## Response `201`
