Flow Automation
Build your security logic. No developer required.
Flow is SYAG's visual automation engine. Connect any event from any module — cameras, IoT, guards, visitors — to any action. Create automated responses that keep your facility safe without manual intervention.
When something happens, Flow makes sure the right thing happens next
Flow automation rules follow a simple three-part structure:
WHEN [trigger event occurs]
IF [condition is true]
THEN [action is executed]
You build these rules visually on a canvas — drag, connect, configure. No code. No IT department required.
Security logic you can see and understand
The Flow canvas is built on a visual node editor. Example rule:
[Camera: Zone B motion detected]
↓
[Condition: Time is between 22:00 and 06:00]
↓
[Action: Create incident — Priority HIGH]
↓
[Action: Notify on-duty supervisor — Push + SMS]
↓
[Action: Dispatch nearest guard to Zone B]
This rule runs automatically, 24/7, without any manual monitoring.
What can trigger a Flow rule
| Trigger category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Camera events | Motion detected, intrusion zone breach, ANPR match, camera offline |
| IoT device events | Panic button pressed, UPS failure, sensor alarm, gate open |
| Guard status events | Guard misses checkpoint, guard goes offline, shift starts/ends |
| Visitor events | Overstay detected, blacklisted individual scanned, contractor pass expires |
| Incident events | Incident opened, incident unresolved after X minutes, incident escalated |
| Scheduled time | Every day at 06:00, weekdays at 22:00, first day of month |
What Flow can do automatically
| Action category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Create incident | Open a new incident with priority, type, and description |
| Notify | Push notification, SMS, email to specified roles or individuals |
| Dispatch guard | Assign the nearest available guard to a location |
| Assign task | Create a task for a specific guard or supervisor |
| Escalate | Promote an incident to higher priority if unresolved |
| Log event | Write a structured entry to the activity log |
Start with a template. Customise from there.
After-hours motion detection response
Visitor overstay escalation
Guard missed checkpoint alert
Panic button emergency response
Camera offline maintenance alert
Contractor access expiry notification
What the alternatives look like
Without Flow
Every camera event, IoT alarm, and visitor overstay requires a human to notice it, decide what to do, and manually communicate the response. At 3am, with one supervisor on duty, things fall through the cracks.
With Flow
The platform acts as a second layer of supervision. Rules run continuously. The right people are notified the moment something happens. Guards are dispatched automatically. Nothing waits for someone to notice.
