# Trigger a desktop Flow using browser URLs

Desktop Flows Referenceable enables you to trigger Flows on the desktop using a browser URL. The URL format for Flows is a convenient option to reply to support queries via email, chat, or over a tweet. For example, you can send a Flow URL to your user which, when clicked, triggers the respective Flow on their desktop application.

          Note

          

The target application on which a Flow needs to run on must be open on the users' desktop, even if it is minimised or running in the background.

Use the following steps to trigger a desktop Flow using the embed URL:

1. Go to the **Production** stage on your Whatfix Desktop Dashboard. ![clm_db_production](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/clm_db_production.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-30T03%3A50%3A56Z&se=2026-10-30T04%3A50%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=AyEvWalWMlH6FS64HF9nuKogiGCy6%2BkWa7jzHZg043Q%3D)
2. Select the Flow you want to trigger. ![CLM_DB_select_flows](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/CLM_DB_select_flows.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-30T03%3A50%3A56Z&se=2026-10-30T04%3A50%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=AyEvWalWMlH6FS64HF9nuKogiGCy6%2BkWa7jzHZg043Q%3D)

Every time you refresh the browser, the Flow is triggered again.
