Process.Plugin Data Type Conversions

Understand how data types are converted between Apex and the values returned to the Process.Plugin. For example, text data in a flow converts to string data in Apex.

We recommend using the @InvocableMethod annotation instead of the Process.Plugin interface.

  • The interface doesn’t support Blob, Collection, sObject, and Time data types, and it doesn’t support bulk operations. Once you implement the interface on a class, the class can be referenced only from flows.
  • The annotation supports all data types and bulk operations. Once you implement the annotation on a class, the class can be referenced from flows, processes, and the Custom Invocable Actions REST API endpoint.

Tip

Flow Data Type Data Type
Number Decimal
Date Datetime/Date
DateTime Datetime/Date
Boolean Boolean and numeric with 1 or 0 values only
Text String
