Which Aura Attribute Types Are Supported in Flows?

Not all Aura data types are supported in flows. You can map only these types and their associated collection types between flows and Lightning components.
Flow Data Type Aura Attribute Type Valid Values
Boolean Boolean
  • True values: true, 1, or equivalent expression
  • False values: false, 0, or equivalent expression
Currency Number Numeric value or equivalent expression
Date Date "YYYY-MM-DD" or equivalent expression
DateTime DateTime "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ" or equivalent expression
Number Number Numeric value or equivalent expression

 String String value or equivalent expression using this format:

"Blue; Green; Yellow"
Picklist String String value or equivalent expression
SObject SObject, such as Account or Case Map of key-value pairs or equivalent expression.

Flow sObject values map only to attributes whose type is the specific object. For example, an account sObject variable can be mapped only to an attribute whose type is Account. Flow data types aren’t compatible with attributes whose type is Object.
