# Promotion Flows

## Triggering a Promotion Flow

You can trigger a Sonoran CMS [promotion flow](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cms/tutorials/user-management/rank-promotions) via the following commands

* `/promote`&#x20;
* `/demote`&#x20;

These commands can be used to trigger specific rank changes you have prior configured on Sonoran CMS. You can select up to 5 users at a time to trigger this flow on.&#x20;

Flow names are based on the ranks they add/ remove. You can type to begin searching for a specific flow you are looking for as shown below:

Upon successfully running a flow the users ranks will be updated in Sonoran CMS.
