An evaluation flow is a flow with a process type of Evaluation Flow. It’s an autolaunched flow that contains a predefined Boolean output variable named isOrchestrationConditionMet.

General Guidelines

Use an evaluation flow to pause an orchestration until a specific field update occurs.

Don’t loop through records or make external callouts in evaluation flows.

To pass variables from the orchestration into an evaluation flow, use evaluation flow input variables.

Output Variable

An evaluation flow has one output variable named isOrchestrationConditionMet.

The isOrchestrationConditionMet output variable must be Boolean and initialized to false.

The values of all output variables other than isOrchestrationConditionMet are discarded and not used by the orchestration.
