Integrations using Apache Camel allow you to orchestrate data exchanges between systems in a standardized way, using components, routes, and processing rules.

In **Integrations**, you can create these integrations visually and intuitively through drag and drop and forms, while maintaining the flexibility to use and view code when needed, combining practicality and technical power in a single environment.

## Integration Flows

![Integration Flows Screen](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/integration_flow_264a0bb672.png)

The **Integration Flows** screen displays the last 12 integration flows created, arranged in cards in alphabetical order.

Each card will display:

- The name and version of the integration flow
- A description (optional)
- Shortcut to the workspace for *Diagram & Source* and *Canvas (legacy)* type flows, respectively:

    * **Diagram & Source Code** ![Source](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/source_icon_orange_a75fa6e6fc.png)
    * **Canvas** ![Flow](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/flow_Icon_ffce9bbf66.png)
    * **Executions** ![Executions](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/executions_Icon_d243f81b84.png)

If there are any inconsistencies, you will see an alert icon ![Alert](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/alert_Icon_86fad7682f.png) in the upper right corner of the card.

To create a new integration, click **+ NEW FLOW**.

See [how to create a new integration](/docs/integrations/ipaas-flow-create).


### Filters

At the top of the screen, you can search for integration flows using the following filters:

* **Integration Flow**: select *All* or *With issues*.

* **Integration Type**: select the integration flow design type: *Diagram & Source Code*, *Canvas*, or *All*.

To search for a specific integration flow, type the name or a word from the flow description in the search box and click **SEARCH**.
