## Working with helper flow tips

Last week I published [How to Setup a Workflows Helper Flow (With For-Each and Streaming Cards)](https://dev.to/maxkatz/how-to-setup-a-workflows-helper-flow-with-for-each-and-streaming-cards-3ej0-temp-slug-5117598). This guide shows how to setup a helper flow with **For-Each** card and the streaming option.

[Jacob Walters](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobdwaters/) from [MacAdmins](http://macadmins.org) Slack channel shared more tips for working with helper flows:

- Use a consistent and easily understood naming convention
- If your workflows use multiple helper flows, be consistent with naming your variables across them
- Helper flows can call themselves (loops and recursion)! 
- Cards like [Reduce](https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/Content/Topics/Workflows/function-reference/List/list_reduce.htm), [Filter](https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/Content/Topics/Workflows/function-reference/List/list_filterby.htm) are effectively helper flows with loops and a defined output- great for iterating through lists

## Helper flow with multiple inputs

_This tip is ahaupt. ahaupt hangs out in the [MacAdmins](https://www.macadmins.org/) #okta-workflows Slack community_.

As long as we are on the helper flow topic, here is a 15-second video on how to create a helper flow with multiple inputs and set inputs type:
