Learn about improvements to Flow Approval Processes.
Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, all Einstein 1, and Developer editions.
Why: Flow approval process designers can now:
- Provide input values and setup options one time per Flow Builder session instead of for every flow approval process debug run. Flow Builder preserves debug data such as triggering record inputs, debug options, and input variable values when you switch between Edit mode and Debug mode. Refreshing your browser or closing Flow Builder clears all debug settings. To clear debug settings manually, click Reset Debug Settings. Test input and test output that you set for steps aren't affected.
- Reduce email volume from approval work item notifications for individuals up the role hierarchy by using the new Send approval work item emails only to queue members setting. This approval setting limits notifications for queue-assigned approval steps to only queue members and their delegates. The setting has no effect if role hierarchy isn’t enabled.
- Use the Step panel’s Configure Test Output tab, previously known as Debug Configuration, to set test output values. The Manually Set Output Values option is now labeled Use Test Output. The new terminology reinforces that you’re specifying test values to use instead of running actual steps. All functionality remains the same.
- Place the Orchestration Work Guide, renamed from Flow Orchestration Work Guide, on the record page of an approval step’s related record in Experience Builder.
- Use the updated options in the Decision Logic section of the Decision element. See Decision Logic Labels Were Updated for Clarity.
