Sample Process.Plugin Implementation for Lead Conversion

In this example, an Apex class implements the Process.Plugin interface and converts a lead into an account, contact, and optionally, an opportunity. Test methods for the plug-in are also included. This implementation can be called from a flow via an Apex plug-in element.

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.
