Flows

Flow Builder lets admins build applications, known as flows, that automate a business process. Flows collect data and perform actions in your Salesforce org or an external system.

For example, you can create a flow to script calls for a customer support center or to generate real-time quotes for a sales team. You can embed a flow in a Visualforce page or Aura component and access it in an Apex controller.

For more information about how to start a flow from Apex, see Apex Reference Guide: Interview Class.

You can customize how your Apex invocable actions appear and behave in Flow Builder by using the InvocableActionExtension metadata file. Control input parameter order and grouping, provide picklist values, add custom headers, and create partial custom property editors for improved configuration experiences. For more information, see Extend Invocable Action Configuration in Flow Builder.
