# How to navigate to a page when a Flow starts

When a user triggers a Flow from a Checklist or the Resource Center, they may not be on the correct page for that Flow. There are three methods for addressing this.

### Method 1: Navigate to a page within Flow

You can navigate to the page from within the Flow using a Modal or a Speech Bubble with a button. You can also configure it to skip the step if the user is already on the page, using the trigger “If current page is”.

- **Pros:** Works no matter where you start the Flow from (checklist, Resource Center, or other)
- **Cons:** Adds a step to your Flow

A special variant of this is to use a Hidden Step, so the user does not need to click anything to navigate.

### Method 2: Guide the user to a page within the Flow

You can guide the user to the page within the Flow by highlighting the actions. You can set it to bypass the step if the user is already on the page using a trigger “If current page is.”

- **Pros:** Guides the user to find the page themselves in the future
- **Cons:** Adds extra steps in the Flow

### Method 3: Navigate to a page from a Checklist or Resource Center

#### Navigate to a page from a Checklist

A user can navigate directly to a page from a checklist task using a “Navigate to” action combined with “Start Flow.”

#### Navigate to a page from the Resource Center

One can similarly use a checklist to navigate to the page for a specific Flow via an [action block](/userflow/docs/resource-center#action-block) or by setting a page for the Flow in a [Flow/checklist block](/userflow/docs/resource-center#list-of-flowschecklists-block).

Guided step-by-step, in-app experience created in Userflow that helps users navigate through tasks or feature discovery.

A persistent list of tasks or items that users can follow to ensure completion of techniques, often used for onboarding, setup, or feature adoption.

A contextual help widget embedded in the app that houses content like flows, checklists, knowledge base search, announcements, and contact options. You can create separate Resource Centers for different customer segments to deliver a highly relevant experience.

Overlay element (a.k.a. 'Popup') within flows that capture attention for announcements or guided steps. A Modal can be used on its own, at the start of a flow, as a lead-in to other step types such as Tooltips or Speech Bubbles, or at the end of a flow with some added confetti for a fun way to congratulate users upon flow completion.

A step type in a flow that appears in a specific position in your app. It’s used to start a flow with a conversational, action-oriented tone and can be personalized with different branding and images using themes. You can configure its width and position, and add text or interactive elements.

A step type that runs invisibly in the background to perform actions like tracking events, updating user attributes, or triggering conditional logic. It adds functionality to your Flows without interrupting the user's visual experience.
