You can use external objects created through Bring Your Own Lake (BYOL) to trigger an action. The external objects should be accelerated in order to use them in flow or data action. If you select a DMO, the flow triggers only if the DMO is mapped as part of a data stream.

Depending on the volume of data changes, the complexity of your flow, and your data stream refresh schedule, there can be delays in the processing of your Data Cloud-triggered flow. You can view a data stream's refresh history on its record page.

1. Open the Flows list view.
    
    - From the Automation app, select the **Flows** tab.
    - From the **Flows** tab in any Lightning app, click the actions menu and select **Open Flow**.
    - From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Flows, and then select **Flows**.
    
    Note that the Automation app and Flows tab options don't require Setup access.
2. Click **New Flow**, and select **Start From Scratch**.
3. Select **Data Cloud-Triggered Flow**, and click **Create**.
4. In the Start element, select the Data Cloud object and the conditions.
5. Save and test the flow.
