In Salesforce, there are five types of flows: Screen Flows, Record-Triggered Flows, Schedule-Triggered Flows, Platform Event-Triggered Flows, and Autolaunched Flows, each serving different purposes and triggered by various events or contexts.
- Screen Flows:
- Record-Triggered Flows:
-
Schedule-Triggered Flows:These flows are run automatically based on a schedule, allowing for recurring tasks and processes.
-
Platform Event-Triggered Flows:These flows are triggered by platform events, which are custom notifications that can be created in Salesforce to notify external systems or processes when certain events occur.
-
Autolaunched Flows:These flows are triggered by something outside of the flow itself, such as another flow, Apex, or a REST API call, and don’t require direct user input or have screens.
