Plugin Interface

Allows you to pass data between your organization and a specified flow.

Namespace

Process

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. After you implement the interface on a class, the class can be referenced only from flows.
  • The annotation supports all data types and bulk operations. After you implement the annotation on a class, the class can be referenced from flows, processes, and the Custom Invocable Actions REST API endpoint.
  • Legacy Apex actions aren’t supported in auto-layout in Flow Builder. Legacy Apex actions are only available to be added in free-form in Flow Builder. Existing actions can be edited in both auto-layout and free-form mode.
