Critical Path
A quarterly build workshop. You arrive with a job that eats your week. You leave with it running by itself.
Register interestFree to attend, food included throughout. 15 places, and those who register interest hear first.
Bring one job. The worst one.
You describe it at six. By eight it is a flow, connected to your real systems, running on real data. Not a demo account. Yours.
No sales pitch, no roadmap deck. If Flomation turns out to be the wrong answer for your job, we will tell you what the right one is.

How the evening runs
- 18:00
Introduction
Fifteen minutes. Everyone says what they brought, then a quick run through triggers, branches, retries and expressions. Enough to build, not enough to be a lecture.
- 18:15
Build
An hour and a half with an engineer sat next to you. Your flow, connected to your real systems, running on your real data. We cover the unglamorous half too: error paths, and what happens at 2am.
- 19:45
Debrief
Fifteen minutes on what you got working, what got in your way, and where the platform let you down. This is the part we come for.
Who it is for
Operations and finance
You know the process better than anyone and you have never written code. That is the ideal starting point, not a disadvantage.
Founders and owners
The admin you absorbed because it was faster than explaining it. Bring it and hand it over to something that does not sleep.
Developers and IT
You want the glue service nobody owns off your plate. We will cover Gateway routes, self-hosting and agent tooling properly.
What to bring
A laptop, one job you would like to stop doing by hand, and login access to the systems that job touches. Three hours goes quickly, so arriving able to log in is the single most useful thing you can do. If you cannot get credentials signed off before the day, tell us in advance and we will set up a sandbox that mirrors your setup closely enough to be useful.
Food is on us and served throughout, so come straight from work. Tell us about dietary requirements when you book.
No preparation beyond that. You do not need a Flomation account before you arrive, though the free plan takes about a minute if you would rather turn up already logged in.
Register your interest
It takes about two minutes. We read every one, and there are fifteen places, so tell us about the job rather than about yourself.
- We read it. Every one, not a filter.
- When the date and venue are set, you hear first, before it is announced anywhere else.
- If there is a place for you, we confirm it by email with the details.
