Flow Axis features

Flow Axis

See every project, who owns it, and what is holding it up.

Flow Axis is a work board for your business. Each project gets an owner, a status, a schedule and a client, and Flow tells you each morning what needs you first. Routine steps run on their own, and nothing changes behind your back.

How it works

  1. Start a board.

    Pick a ready board for your team, describe your work in plain words, or import a spreadsheet or a monday.com export.

  2. Add the work.

    Give each item an owner, a status, dates and a client, and link what has to finish first.

  3. Let Flow keep it moving.

    Today shows what needs you, automations handle routine steps, and reports show how every board is doing.

What it does, by job

Know what needs you, every morning

Today opens on what is overdue, stuck or due soon, and picks the next step for you.

  • Overdue, due today, this week and stuck, counted
  • A recommended next step
  • Next actions, such as items with no owner or no date
  • My work across every board
  • An inbox for mentions and changes

See every project and who owns it

One board holds the work, with the columns your business needs.

  • Groups, items and subitems
  • Owner, status, date, timeline, number, budget and client columns
  • A health strip that says what needs attention
  • Filter, sort, group and saved views
  • Select many items and change them at once
  • Recurring items

Start from a description, a spreadsheet, a blank board or a ready board for your team.

Keep the conversation on the work

Open any item for its details, its updates and what it is blocking.

  • Updates with replies, mentions and reactions
  • Files on the item
  • Waiting on and blocking, side by side
  • Activity with undo
  • Follow an item to hear about changes

An item keeps its updates, files and dependencies together.

See the work the way you think

The same items as a table, by status, by date or on a schedule.

  • Kanban lanes from any status column
  • A calendar of due dates
  • A timeline with dependencies and milestones
  • Whiteboards and a map view
  • Workload and chart views, with time tracking
  • A calendar feed for your own calendar app

The timeline draws each schedule and the links between items that wait on each other.

Collect requests and write things down

Requests come in through a form, and the thinking lives next to the work.

  • Forms that add items to a board
  • Docs linked to boards and items
  • Mentions in docs

Let the routine steps run themselves

Each automation reads as one sentence, so you always know what it does.

  • Ready-made recipes that fit the columns on your board
  • Move, assign, set a status or date, or notify someone
  • A dry run before you switch one on
  • Run history that names what stopped a run
  • An item is never marked done while what it waits on is unfinished
Flow Axis Automations page with three automations: move done items to Delivered, notify the owner when stuck, and remind the day before a due date.
Automations read as one sentence and can be switched on or off.

Know how every board is doing

Reports roll every board into one view of health, risk and who is carrying what.

  • Board health, progress, overdue and stuck counts
  • A forecast for when each board finishes
  • Risks and work waiting on other work
  • Finished per week and workload per person
  • What changed since your last review
Flow Axis Reports with open items, percent complete, overdue count, committed budget and a board health table.
Reports show health, progress, forecast and risk across boards.

Ask Axis, and approve what it changes

Ask about your work in plain words. Axis can build a board with you, and nothing is saved until you approve it.

  • Summaries and what is overdue, in plain words
  • Boards, groups, columns and items built from a description
  • A preview of every change before it is saved
  • Undo for what Axis added

Work with your team, and keep control

Invite people to a board with the access they need.

  • Members, contributors who change only their own items, and viewers
  • Guests on a single board
  • Column managers for sensitive columns
  • Trash that keeps things for 30 days
  • An activity log for the whole business

Connect it to the rest of your tools

Get work in and out, and tell other tools when something changes.

  • CSV import and export
  • Import a monday.com board export
  • Slack and Microsoft Teams messages
  • Signed webhooks
  • A public API with keys you control

Questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day card trial, once per person. Cancel before it ends and you are not charged.

Do my teammates need their own plan?

No. One plan covers your business, and the people you invite ride on it up to the plan's limit.

Can I bring my work from monday.com or a spreadsheet?

Yes. Flow imports a CSV file or a monday.com board export into a new board.

Does Axis change my boards on its own?

No. Axis shows every change it wants to make, and nothing is saved until you approve it.

Can people outside my business see a board?

Only if you invite them. A guest sees just the board you share with them.

Do I need another Axis app?

No. Flow Axis works on its own.
