Update Existing Orchestrations to Run Background Steps Synchronously When Actions Support It

Background steps that call synchronous actions now run synchronously, reducing end-to-end latency for your orchestration runs. Previously, any background step containing an Action element ran asynchronously, regardless of whether the action itself was synchronous. To take advantage of this change in existing orchestrations, update the orchestration's API version to 68.0 or later.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Einstein 1 Editions, Agentforce 1 Editions, and Developer editions.

How: To opt in, open the orchestration's version properties in Flow Builder and set API Version for Running the Orchestration to 68.0 or later. Orchestrations running an earlier API version keep the previous asynchronous behavior.
