# `openclaw flows`
`openclaw flows` is **not** a current OpenClaw CLI command.
Some older release notes and docs mistakenly documented a `flows` command surface. The supported operator surface is [`openclaw tasks`](/automation/tasks).
```bash
openclaw tasks list
openclaw tasks show <lookup>
openclaw tasks cancel <lookup>
```
## Use instead
- `openclaw tasks list` — list tracked background tasks
- `openclaw tasks show <lookup>` — inspect one task by task id, run id, or session key
- `openclaw tasks cancel <lookup>` — cancel a running background task
- `openclaw tasks notify <lookup> <policy>` — change task notification behavior
- `openclaw tasks audit` — surface stale or broken task runs
## Why this page exists
This page stays in place so existing links from older changelog entries, issue threads, and search results have a clear correction instead of a dead end.
