Search finds any flow, folder, or contact in the workspace you're in by name, so you can jump to the right code without digging through folders. It won't match a short URL or slug, so to track down the flow behind a printed code, you search by the campaign it was made for.
User Permissions | Anyone in the workspace, including Viewers. |
Note: You only see flows in workspaces you belong to. Organization Admins can open every workspace.
Find a flow by name
In the sidebar, click Flows.
In Find a flow, enter a word from the flow's name. Capital letters don't matter.
The list covers every folder in the workspace, wherever you are. A flow in a folder shows its path, such as "Fall 2026 Campaign > Fall Menu – Table Tent". Matching folders show up too.
To narrow the list, click Filters and select a Use case, Tag, or Creator (who made the flow).
Search flows and contacts from any page
At the top of the page, click Search, or press Cmd+K on a Mac.
Enter a word. Matching flows and contacts appear as you type. Click one to open it.
To see every match, click See all results for "…", or press Enter.
The Search results page shows each flow's Last Updated time, Location (its folder, or Workspace root), and tags. Archived flows are included and marked Archived.
Look in another workspace
Search never crosses workspaces. If you belong to more than one, follow these steps:
At the top left, click the workspace name.
In Search workspaces, enter the name and select the workspace.
Search again with Find a flow or Search.
Find the flow behind a short URL or a printed QR code
You can't search by a short URL or its slug (the part after the last slash). Search only matches names.
For a printed code, point your phone's camera at it and read the link it shows. That link is the code's short URL.
Search for the campaign or placement the code was made for, such as "table tent" or "fall menu".
Open a likely flow.
At the top right, above Destination, click the menu and select a QR code or short URL under Codes or Short URLs.
Compare its link with yours.
Not there? Search your other workspaces. Migrated Flowcode 1 codes usually sit in their own folder, so see Find and edit your Flowcode 1 codes and pages in Flowcode 2.
If you still can't find it, contact Flowcode Support at [email protected]. Include the full short URL or a photo of the printed code, and your organization and workspace names.
Find a flow a colleague shared
You can't share a single flow, so no email is sent about one. You see a colleague's flow when you belong to its workspace.
Ask your colleague which workspace the flow is in.
If it's not in your workspace list, ask that workspace's Admin, or an Organization Admin, to add you. See Give a teammate access to a code, or take over a colleague's codes when they leave.
Switch to the workspace and use Find a flow, or Filters → Creator with their name.
A flow in a colleague's personal workspace must be moved to a shared one first, so see Share a flow with a colleague or move it to another workspace.
Best practices
Before you edit, check the Location on the results, since search also returns close matches.
Find a flow shows Active flows. Click Archived at the top right to search archived ones too. See Archive, restore, or delete a flow, and why codes stop working.
Troubleshooting
"I pasted a short URL into search and got 'No items matching your search'."
Search doesn't look up links or slugs. Search for the flow's name, then compare its short URLs.
"Find a flow says 'No matching flows found.'" or "Search can't find a flow I'm sure exists."
Search covers one workspace at a time, so switch workspaces at the top left and try again. Click Archived in case the flow was archived. If filters are on, click Clear filters.
"A colleague's link says 'You do not have access to this workspace.'"
The flow is in a workspace you don't belong to. Click View your workspaces to see yours, and ask the workspace's Admin to add you.
FAQs
Can I search all my workspaces at once?
No. Search covers the workspace you're in. Switch workspaces and search each one.
Does search look inside folders?
Yes. Find a flow and the top Search bar both cover every folder in the workspace.
Can I search by short URL, slug, or QR code name?
No. Both searches match flow names, plus folder names on the Flows page.
Does search include archived flows?
The top Search bar does, marked Archived. On the Flows page, click Archived first.
