• Questions & Answers

Record-Triggered Flow Start Element Changes
Logo
• Setting up the Record-Triggered Flow Start Element used to be a
multi-step process.
• Now, those steps have been combined into one and enhanced further.
• The ‘Object’ and ‘Trigger’ sections are now on one single page, which
pops up when you create the Flow.

You can also optimize the Flow for a specific action set:
• Fast Field Updates: a high-performance Flow designed to run before
the record is saved, and will only update fields on the record that
triggered the Flow
• Actions and Related Records: which will run after the record has
been inserted, designed to make updates, or perform actions like
Send Email or Outbound etc or make changes in related to the
record (but not make changes to the record itself).
Note: The Actions and Related Records optimization can also be made
to run asynchronously.

Send Outbound Message with Salesforce Flow
Logo
• Outbound Messages are now available as an action in the Flow
Builder.
• Outbound Messages send messages to external services, beyond
Salesforce.
• This is a major addition that will solidify Flow’s reputation as the go-to
Salesforce automation for all admins.

Configure Batch Size for Scheduled Paths in Record-Triggered Flows
Logo
• If you’re adding a Scheduled Path to a Record-Triggered
Flow and want to be able to control the number of
interviews executed within a Batch, now you can!
• If you’ve got some more complex actions lined up and
need to restrict the number of records that are run at the
same time, simply reduce the Batch Size. It’s not
recommended to increase it above the default of 200 for
performance reasons (and the fact that you’ll be more
likely to run into issues with Apex governor limits).

New ‘Minutes’ Options for Offsets (for Scheduled Paths in Record-Triggered Flows)
• If you created or edited a Record-Triggered Flow prior to
Winter ‘22, you’d only have the option to offset a scheduled
path by days or hours.
• Now, in Winter ‘22, you have the ability to offset it by minutes.
• This may be useful in a fast-paced sales team when a lead
comes in and you want to schedule a number of actions to be
executed in quick succession.

Call a Subflow from a Record-Triggered Flow
Logo
• Record-Triggered Flows now can call Subflows. This was
previously restricted to other Flow types.
• Now, allow complex logic to be reused across multiple
Record-Triggered Flows without having to be rebuilt each
time.

Debugging Enhancements for Record-Triggered Flow
Logo
• When debugging a Record-Triggered Flow with
more than one path in Winter ‘22, the very first thing
you’ll be asked to do is select which path you’d like
to test.
• This is valuable, making it easier for you to design
more complex Flows and test each leg of it
thoroughly.

Debugging Enhancements for Record-Triggered Flow

Ability to Reconnect Flow Elements in Auto-Layout
Logo
• One of the biggest issues many people have
encountered with Auto-Layout Flows (myself
included) is that if a slight adjustment is required to a
path, you sometimes need to switch Auto-Layout off,
make the change, and then switch it back on.
• Looks like this is coming to an end in Winter ‘22, with
the ability to reconnect elements throughout a Flow
with ease.

Relabel the Navigation Buttons in a Screen Flow
There are times when Pause, Previous, and Next just
aren’t quite exciting enough to define your navigation
within your Flow.

Screen Flow: New Roll Back Records Element
This isn’t something I saw coming – I thought Data elements would
forever be limited to Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD). That’s
not to say this new Data element won’t be incredibly useful!
Introducing, Roll Back Records!

Screen Flow: New Roll Back Records Element
Rolling back your Data element changes would
be useful in situations where:
• A Flow encounters an error,
• A user gets to a certain point in a Flow and
decides they need more information before
committing their changes
• Or, some custom validation has been
implemented to align with business rules
and any breaches should be reverted.
