Hello,
I am wondering what the specific differences are between Postman Flows and Collection Runners. Both seem to pass “variables” to the next request, but I am struggling to see what the differences between the two are. Are there any limitations to Runners that make Flows a better option in certain circumstances for data requests that need to do some processing/concatenation?
I too have this question. Did you get to find an answer ?
And how does this affect billing given that there is a limit of 25 collection runs but unlimited flow executions on local.
+1 to this - what are the differences between the two?
Hi @glen-coco
Collection runner works well if you have a sequence of requests in a single collection that you want to run in order.
Flows is Postman’s visual workflow builder (and also our AI Agent framework). Flows can use as many collections as you want and run requests in parallel with branching logic on a visual canvas that simplifies development. You can take a look at some of the examples of workflows built using Flows in the link above. We’re also launching a bunch of exciting new features with agent and workflow cloud hosting and observability coming soon!
