# How a flow works?

A **flow** is a process divided into **three parts**. 

**The first part** is the *trigger*, where you can input different types of media (audio, text, image, video, etc.). 

**The second part** is the *components*, which can include one or more elements. The role of the components is to convert the input data and generate an output response. 

**The final part** is the *output*, which presents the result from the components. This output can be one of the various types of media, depending on the model used.

You can refer to the [**Flows**](https://docs.diaflow.io/flows) section for more information.
