If not, if someone can tell me where to post, I'd be glad to go there. I am working on a flow regarding turning data on and off when wifi is avail/not avail. For example: I use a battery saver app that keeps the data off but still lets me make calls and send/receive texts. Sometimes, I turn on my browser, but it obviously won't connect without me turning data on manually. At home it's not a big deal, because it connects to the wifi and alleviates that problem. At work or while out and about, I cannot or don't wanna connect to wifi, or it might not be available to me. SO...the flow would be :when any app requiring internet accessibility (browser, mail, etc) tries to connect to wifi, but it fails to find one, it would turn on the data automatically, then turn it off when that app is closed. The issue i am running into is I get confused when doing the "true" "false" states , and when telling it "no wifi ,turn on data instead". I guess I need a little tutorial for a complicated flow. I do ok with the easy and medium flows, but this one has me pulling my hair out, and I have none left! Suggestions, ideas? I appreciate any input, and by the way, the app rocks!!

You should also check out the the flow sharing area. There are quite a few useful and creative flows in there.

Thanks for the example Pauly. It makes more sense to me to see it written out like that! I looked around the flow forum and found a few i like, but none were really related to what i wanted to do. I appreciate the example alot though. Thanks!
