Flow is a powerful business automation tool that can manipulate data in Salesforce in a variety of ways. Such an application can be created right from the org’s set up with just drag-drop/point-click. The ease of creating flows makes it the number one go-to tool when it comes to complex business requirements. How do flows work in Salesforce? Flows can look up, create, update, and delete Salesforce records. They can also create Chatter posts, submit records for approval, and send emails. If your action isn’t possible out of the box, call Apex code from the flow. Connect your flow to an external database by using core actions or Apex actions
What Features are included? Flow Designer, we get 3 tabs: palette; resources; explorer. Palette Palette gives access to a number of elements that can be used to build the logic. The main elements are as follows User Interface element Screen – Users can interact with the Flow only through this element. It lets the flow - collect information from the User and pass it to other elements for processing Logic Elements: Decision – helps to determine the direction of the flow Assignment – can set, change, add values of/to variables Loop – iterates through the values of a collection variable
DML operations: Record Create/Update/Lookup/Delete –the names speak for themselves. We can look for and Delete records right in here (codeless Heaven for Admins). Fast Create/Update/Lookup/Delete – these are doing almost the same things as elements above but by using onlys Object variables. Using Fast elements helps to bulkify the transaction. For example, if there are 50 records that need to be updated, then it is better to have a Fast Update element to update 50 records at once, instead of having Record Update run 50 times, which increases API calls to the database. Then we have Flow elements that list all the flows that we have in our org. This helps to nest flows within each other.
How are Flows run? The awesomeness of the Flow does not end there, another perk is it can be run from almost everywhere. However, to determine where to run them we need to know the flow types, there 2 main types: Screen Flows as the name suggests includes screen element to gather information from a user, this means that the flow type requires user interaction. This type of flow can be accessed in a number of places: custom button; custom link; direct URL, Visualforce Page, or Salesforce app action.Note: Wait element is not available here.
What’s newly added in Flow 2021? Salesforce is always working for future enhancement. There are multiple features to be added for users who have this tool. Build multicolumn screens ISCHANGED condition logic can be used for Decision and start elements Preview flow screen components Find failed flows quickly Read flow error messages easily Conclusion Flows include a lot of powerful features that would be useful in every single org.DML operations include Flow.
