I want to create custom UI for a flow app like create button. I want to build some sort of app that gave user more creative UI and good experience whether it is by HTML or CSS.

FME Flow Apps support:

  • Custom logos
  • Custom colours
  • Custom banners
  • Custom descriptions
  • Gallery Apps for application navigation

This is the lowest effort option.

 

Instead of users seeing an FME Flow App: your next option is to go full custom

  1. User
  2. Custom Website - with all your CSS, HTML including javascript to call :
  3. FME Flow REST API 
  • POST /fmeapiv4/jobs   to execute the Workspace / Automation parsing in parameter
  • GET /fmeapiv4/jobs/{id}/result to retrieve data download result URL

 

javascript example

const response = await fetch(
"https://yourfmeflow/fmeapiv4/jobs",
{
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + token,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({
repository: "GISTools",
workspace: "ValidateMyData.fmw",
publishedParameters: {
INPUT_FILE: filePath
}
})
}
);

const result = await response.json();
console.log(result);

 

Lastly, you can post an FME Idea for Safe software to develop a better custom UI generator for what you’re asking for here

Just as a side note, it’s incredible what you can accomplish over a few hours using something like Claude Code or Codex. If you feed it the FME Flow REST API definition as part of the specification, the sky’s the limit :-)
