# Link a Flow to a Beacon

Whatfix enables you to link an existing Flow to a Beacon. End users have the option to either view the Flow or skip it. Linking Flows to a Beacon helps you provide additional guidance to your users.

Linking a Flow to a Beacon is a two-step process:

[Step 1: Find the Flow ID that you want to link](/docs/link-a-flow-to-a-beacon#find-flowid) [Step 2: Link the Flow to the Beacon](/docs/link-a-flow-to-a-beacon#link-flow)

## Find the Flow ID

Follow these steps to find the Flow ID:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Content**. ![ia_left_nav_content](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_content.png)
2. Click **Flows**. ![ia_left%20nav_flows](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left%20nav_flows.png)
3. Click the Flow whose ID you want to copy. ![Linking_two_flows_021](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Linking_two_flows_02%281%29.jpg)

Note

Whatfix also enables you to view the Flow ID in the URL of the Flow. The last section in the URL is the ID of the Flow. ![Studio_Dashboard_URL](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Studio_Dashboard_URL.png)
