Shared Formulas
Shared Formulas offer a simple, form-based approach to media automation. Instead of building flows with individual flow elements, Formulas let you configure processing rules for Video, Audio, or Images using an intuitive UI with drop-downs, sliders, and toggle switches.
Formulas require a valid FileFlows license. Both submitting and downloading formulas requires an active license linked to your fileflows.com account.

Submitting Formulas
To contribute a formula to the community:
- Open the Formulas section in the FileFlows WebConsole
- Right-click on the formula you want to share
- Select Share

- Once approved, it becomes available for other licensed users to download
Submissions are reviewed for quality and accuracy. Ensure your formula follows standard naming conventions and includes a clear description.
Publishing Updates
Updates to your published formulas follow the same process as submissions:
- Open the Formulas section in the FileFlows WebConsole
- Right-click the modified formula
- Select Share
- Your changes are submitted as a new revision
