Flow Builder Updates

Make changes to record-triggered and scheduled-triggered flows using natural language. Make navigating the Flow Builder canvas easier with collapsible branching paths and more intuitive mouse scrolling controls. Access the Agentforce panel without admin setup.

  • Get More Accurate Draft Flows with AI (Generally Available)
    Agentforce breaks down your business requirements into specific tasks and gives generative AI-specific instructions on how to complete those tasks, making your record-triggered or schedule-triggered flows more accurate. Enter your instructions and let AI do the work. You can also use and modify the sample instructions and then generate the draft flow.
  • Evolve Flows Iteratively with Agentforce
    Improve and modify existing record-triggered and schedule-triggered flows by using natural language without starting from scratch. Use conversational prompts in the Agentforce panel to add, modify, and delete elements in a flow. This feature doesn’t consume generative AI credits.
  • Simplify Your Flow Builder Layout by Collapsing Branching Elements
    Manage complex flows more efficiently by hiding unnecessary detail on the canvas. Now you can collapse and expand branching elements with Flow Builder, including Wait, Decision, Loop, Path Experiment, and Async Actions, helping you focus on the key parts of your flow. To ensure a consistent workflow, Flow Builder remembers your specific expand and collapse preferences. This layout is saved automatically and locally in your browser, making it easier to return to your work without changing the view for other users.
  • Navigate Large Flows Faster by Collapsing or Expanding All Elements
    Collapse or expand all multiple-path elements, such as Wait, Decision, Loop, Path Experiment, and Async Actions, on the Flow Builder canvas with one click. This feature simplifies your view so that you can reduce visual clutter and focus on the important parts of the flow. You can still expand or collapse individual elements as needed. Flow Builder remembers your current layout automatically, even if you leave the flow. This layout saves locally in your browser, so you can pick up where you left off without changing the view for other users.
  • Set Up the Agentforce Panel Without Admin Configuration
    Users can now quickly transition to the Agentforce panel and access new features such as creating, summarizing, or evolving a flow. This feature doesn’t consume generative AI credits.
  • View Subflow Input and Output Variable Descriptions More Easily
    The infobubbles for subflow output variables now show the custom description set by the admin or developer. If no custom description is defined, improved default text guides you to assign a resource. Additionally, view descriptions for a subflow’s input resources in an infobubble even if the resource isn’t included. Previously, you had to enable the input resource to know whether you needed it.
  • View Action Input Descriptions More Easily
    Save time configuring flow actions. You can now hover over the infobubble next to an action input variable to view its description without including it. Upfront informational text helps you quickly understand why to use an input before deciding to assign it a value.
  • Navigate Flow Builder Faster with Enhanced Scrolling
    Navigating the Flow Builder canvas is now quicker and more intuitive. Previously, moving around the Flow Builder canvas required you to click and hold (grab and move) to pan across the elements.
  • Decision Logic Labels Were Updated for Clarity
    The labels for the Decision Logic section of the Decision element were changed to Define Manually (Default) and Define with AI (Advanced). The new labels clarify that defining conditions manually is the first choice when working with structured data. When you can't define conditions because you're working with complex or unstructured data, use AI.
