# Arrow

The **Arrow** has the purpose of connecting individual flows. By default, steps already have connected arrows for ease of use.

Every flow should start with a Connector or Helper and end with one. \
Arrows should only be in between Connectors and Helpers and connect them.

In the example below, you see the Arrow selected as well as a three-step Flow with two connected arrows. The [Looper Helper](https://docs.locoia.com/connectors/helpers/loop-helper) has an Arrow called ['ActionLoop'](https://docs.locoia.com/connectors/loop-helper#action-loop-arrow) that is specific to it.\
The flow is supposed to start with a helper or connector and end with one.
