Salesforce Flow详解

Flow是Salesforce强大的低代码工具，后期会替换掉Worksflow及Process Builder。

可以先看下Flow Builder页面，它是由三部分组成的：

1. Toolbox：列出了所有的元素及资源，并可以创建新的变量、工时或选项等用与Flow；
2. Canvas：Flow的画布，可以通过托拉拽的方式搭建可视化流程；
3. Button Bar：可以用来控制Flow是否激活，Flow上一次保存时间点，Flow是否有警告或错误，用户还可以Debug创建完成的Flow。

最常见的Flow包括以下3种：

Screen Flow：提供了与用户交互的页面，通过页面的交互为用户提供业务指导；可以由快捷操作/Lightning页面或Site等来触发；

Autolaunched Flow：自动在后台运行的业务流程，可以由其它Flow或Apex代码或REST API来触发；

Trigger Flow：可以是定时的也可以基于数据的变更或平台事件来触发，也是后台运行的业务流程。

那为什么Salesforce会高调的启用Flow并替换掉Worksflow或Process Builder呢？Salesforce官方的答复是：

Flow Builder provides debugging, testing, and integration with functions across the Salesforce Platform. a record-triggered flow can update a Salesforce record 10 times faster than a record-change process built with Process Builder!

一般有哪些场景适合通过Flow来实现呢，以下是一些示例：

• • Guide a site member through requesting a new credit card with a step-by-step walkthrough.
  • When a support tech clicks an Escalate button on a case, reassign the case to a higher level tech.
  • When an account is updated, update all of the contacts related to that account.
  • When an opportunity stage is updated, send a custom message to an external system.
  • When a platform event occurs, create a task.
  • When an opportunity closes, create a renewal opportunity.
  • Display all possible discounts on every open opportunity, and allow salespeople to select and apply a discount with a single click.
  • Update a lead record in Salesforce after a certain amount of time passes, or when a specified time is reached.
