Q2 SAML SP-initiated flow

Question

Hey Is it possible to implement an SP initiated flow with Q2 I know the docs say that A service provider initiated workflow can be approximated but it is much more complex and solutions will be specific to individual service providers Are there any examples of SP initiated flow implementations that we can use as a guideline for our own implementation though Thanks Lawrence
