The Process.PluginResult class returns
output parameters from the class that implements the interface to the
flow.
We recommend using the @InvocableMethod annotation instead of the Process.Plugin interface.
- The interface doesn’t support Blob, Collection, and sObject, 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.
- You can customize how invocable actions created with @InvocableMethod appear in Flow Builder by using the
InvocableActionExtension metadata file. Control parameter order, add picklists, create
custom headers, and build partial custom property editors.
You can instantiate the Process.PluginResult class using one of the following formats:
- Process.PluginResult
(Map<String,Object>)
- Process.PluginResult (String,
Object)
Use the map when you have more than one result or when you don't know how
many results are returned.
The following is an example of instantiating a
Process.PluginResult
class.
