Creating Flow through Point and Click

In the previous chapter, we gave you an overview of Visual Workflow. We discussed the benefits of using Visual Workflow and the system requirements for it. You learned various ways to invoke the Flow. In this chapter, you will see how easily you can create user interaction screens without Visualforce and complex process automation without Apex. This chapter mainly focuses on the design of Visual Workflow using various components. The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

• Creating the building blocks of the Flow:
  • Creating a variable

  • Creating an SObject Collection variable
• Allowing users to pause Flows
• Designing the Flow: In this topic, we will cover:

Till the Chapter 4, Debugging and New Ways to Call a Flow, we will use the Salesforce Classic user interface to display Visual Workflow output. In this book, we have dedicated Chapter 8, Enabling Flows to Work with Lightning Experience, to discuss Lightning Experience for Visual Workflow.
