Yes, you heard that right!

 

Salesforce Flow is by far the most powerful automation tool by Salesforce, which has Apex code-like functionality and declarative process automation.

So, what makes Salesforce Flow so cool, and how does it make workflow automation so simpler and faster? Today, we will take you through the core of Salesforce Flow. Read on!

What is Salesforce Flow

To begin with, Salesforce Flow is a tool that allows you to build and automate complex solutions using the simple drag-and-drop interface through clicks, not codes.

The use case of Flow is endless, and with every release, Salesforce is continuously improving its capabilities.

And with the retirement of Process Builder and Workflow Rules, Flow will become the only declarative automation solution on the platform.

Know how Flow works

Every day around 44 billion workflows are put into action on Salesforce’s platform. And all of this is anchored by Flow by running a definite logic on-screen upon data entry.

Flow integrates data from different systems and triggers updates, helping businesses to act on information faster and save development time.

Plus, the declarative automation in Flow makes it simpler to debug processes inline.

The three main components of Flow are-

  • Elements:  Responsible for logical actions like loops, assignments, or decisions
  • Connectors:  Finds out which elements lead to which
  • Resources:  Individual variables of data that are used in a Flow
