# Trigger Flows with Data Cloud Data

A flow initiated by the Data Cloud begins operating once specific criteria within a Data Model Object (DMO) or Calculated Insight Object (CIO) are satisfied.

To initiate your automated flow, choose the relevant Data Cloud object and define the triggering conditions within the Start component. This step is optional.
