# Amazon Connect Flow language
<a name="flow-language"></a>

This section describes the Amazon Connect Flow language and how to use it. The Flow language is a JSON-based representation of a series of flow actions, and the criteria for moving between them.

We've provided you with the Flow language so you can: 
+ Efficiently update flows that you're migrating from one instance to another.
+ Write flows rather than drag blocks onto the flow designer.
