Use Aura Components with Flows
Customize the look-and-feel and functionality of your flows by adding Lightning components to them. Or wrap a flow in an Aura component to configure the flow at runtime, such as to control how a paused flow is resumed.
Lightning:availableForFlowScreens
This interface is supported only in Lightning run time. This interface is a marker interface. A marker interface signals the component’s container to add the interface’s behavior to the component. Add the Lightning:availableForFlowScreens interface to a Lightning component to make it available for flow screens.
<aura:component implements="lightning:availableForFlowScreens">

</aura:component>Configure Components For Flow Screens
- Make your custom Lightning components available to flow screens in the Cloud Flow Designer by implementing the lightning:availableForFlowScreens interface.
- Next, add a design resource to your component bundle.

It contains attributes that are available for admins to edit in the Cloud Flow Designer. - Header and Footer is optional. If we want custom header or footer we can uncheck the check box
