Hi, I'm trying to learn how to make flows. Can you give me a trivial flow to understand how to do, please?

Hi and welcome to node-red forum.

There are many many excellent examples amongst the [documentation](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/) and [flow library](https://flows.nodered.org/).

I recommend you [start here](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/concepts)

PS: Please start a new thread when asking an unrelated question.

Good luck & happy learning.

Here's a good starting reference for starting out in node-red if you haven't seen it yet: [http://noderedguide.com/nr-lecture-1/](http://noderedguide.com/nr-lecture-1/)  
Here is the page they cover building your first flow: [http://noderedguide.com/node-red-lecture-2-building-your-first-flows-15/](http://noderedguide.com/node-red-lecture-2-building-your-first-flows-15/)
