# Introduction

> Configurations are everything that shapes your Customer Agent.

Configurations are everything that shapes your Customer Agent. Flows are built from these elements - a flow combines policies, knowledge, and tools into the behavior the agent follows for a ticket type.

You change configurations by prompting the Internal Agent in a [task](/platform/tasks), and you can browse and edit them on the [Configurations page in the app](https://app.parahelp.com/configurations).
