# Entities Overview

> Map of all entity types in Wizflow, organised by customer journey stage

Entities are the building blocks of your flows. Each one helps you **collect**, **decide**, **show**, or **automate**.

<Note>
  **The red thread:** Most flows follow this journey:\
  **Collect data → Process & validate → Display results → Automate actions**
</Note>
