❗PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!❗

tldr: copy all the blocks before the new fiber excluding the start flow blocks and paste them at the beginning of your flows, connecting the new fiber to the beginning of the flow you'd like to control the new fiber. Requires a free Automate quick setting tile to be dragged into your quick settings menu.

This flow provides a simple, reliable way to control flows from a quick setting tile. It shows two different starting points that set the quick setting either on our off by default.

The example flow uses a wait block set to 1 hour. To control that with a quick setting tile in series, you'd need to wait an hour. In this case, since this snippet runs the flow in parallel with the quick setting tile controls, it will allow you to interrupt that long fiber and toggle it whenever you'd like

To use the snippet, simply copy the blocks before the new fiber, paste them after your flow start block, and attach your existing flow to the new fiber on the fork block

⚠️There may be some delay between tapping the tile and the flow forking. Simply wait a few seconds or try minimizing the quick setting menu (this works best for me)

And thank you Patrick Corgan for inspiring this flow.
