# Enabling auto-refresh for queries after the Flow Dialog ends

## Overview

This tutorial shows how to refresh queries after a flow dialog finishes automatically. Doing so, updates data sources immediately, improving accuracy and the user experience.

Because the standard Salesforce navigate interaction to an object page is used to create new records, it doesn’t automatically refresh Avonni Components configured with a Query Data Source (such as Data Table). This guide ensures those components update to include newly created data as soon as the dialog closes.

## Step-by-Step guide

### **Step 1: Integrate Query Data Source**

* Click the "Open Component Builder" to access all the component settings.
* Start by incorporating the Query Data source in the Avonni Components into your Salesforce Flow.

To finish this tutorial, ensure you use the [Query Data Source](/flow/component-builder/data-sources/query.md) with your component.
{% endhint %}

### **Step 2: Configure Your Query**

Customize your query parameters to suit the data you wish to retrieve and manipulate.

### **Step 3: Initiate Action Creation**

Create an action button or a row action. This will be the user's entry point for triggering the flow.

### **Step 4: Access the Interaction Panel**

Navigate to the interaction panel to set up the flow's interactive elements.

### **Step 5: Create an Interaction**

Proceed to create a new interaction that will act upon the action button or menu you've just made.

### **Step 6: Define the Interaction Target**

Assign the previously designed action button or menu (from step 3) as the target for this interaction.

### **Step 8: Select the Desired Flow**

Identify and select the particular flow that this interaction should launch.

### **Step 9: Assign Input Variables**

If necessary, relay any required input variables to the flow that is being opened.

After setting up the main flow, click the "On Finish" button to define what happens once the flow concludes.

### **Step 11: Set 'On Finish' Interaction Type**

For the 'On finish' interaction, select "Refresh Query." This ensures that your query automatically updates when the flow dialog ends.
