`Process.Plugin` Data Type Conversions

Understand how data types are converted between Apex and the values returned to the Process.Plugin. For example, text data in a flow converts to string data in Apex.

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.

Tip

Flow Data Type	Data Type
Number	Decimal
Date	Datetime/Date
DateTime	Datetime/Date
Boolean	Boolean and numeric with 1 or 0 values only
Text	String
