# Activate the Flow in Flow Builder

Before you can sync your data between Salesforce Suites and your external apps, activate your flow in Flow Builder.

1. From the Suites Home page, select **Quick Settings** (gear icon) in the top-right corner.
2. Select **Open Advanced Setup**.
3. In the Quick Find box, search for and select **Flows**, which is in the Process Automation category.
4. From the Flows page, find and select the flow related to the app connection.
5. In the upper-right corner, select **Activate** to deploy the flow and make it live.

You can also activate a flow from the **Flows** tab in the Automation app. Open the flow, and then select **Activate**.

Note You can save a limited number of flows. See the Considerations section in [Integration Basics for Salesforce Suites](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connect_external_apps.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Salesforce Suites is built on a simple idea: Your business runs smoother when everything you need lives under one roof, especially your data. But what about the external apps your business relies on, like accounting and project management tools? Salesforce prebuilt integrations bridge that gap by bringing your external app data into your Suites workspace and eliminating siloed data.").
