# Amazon AppFlow Flow

Amazon AppFlow Flow is a managed integration resource that automates data transfers between AWS services and external SaaS applications. It allows users to securely move, transform, and enrich data without writing custom code. Each flow defines the source, destination, and transformation logic, enabling scheduled or event-driven synchronization.
