New Flow Features of Salesforce’s Spring ’24 Release – saasguru

Salesforce’s Spring ’24 Release is poised to bring groundbreaking enhancements to the Salesforce platform, offering new flow features that promise to revolutionize workflow efficiency and data management. Let’s dive into the key features of this exciting update:

Salesforce’s Spring ’24 Release New Flow Features

1. Send Data to Data Cloud Using Flows: This innovative feature allows users to send data from a flow directly to Data Cloud through the Ingestion API, eliminating the need for coding. It’s ideal for automating the transfer of archival data or engagement data to Data Cloud, streamlining data management processes.
2. API Connection Verification via HTTP Callout: The process of configuring API responses for new HTTP Callouts has been simplified. Users can now connect to an API endpoint, retrieve a real-time sample response body, and automatically configure the HTTP Callout, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of API integrations.
3. Repeater Component (Beta): A standout addition is the Repeater component, which allows users to duplicate a set of components on a screen at runtime. This feature is particularly useful for forms requiring multiple entries, such as adding beneficiaries to an insurance policy.
4. Transform Element (Beta): The Transform element in Flow Builder has been updated to facilitate easier data aggregation from a source collection. Users can now calculate sums or counts of items in a collection and assign the results to a target data field, simplifying data analysis tasks.
5. Event-Triggered Flows Execution Options: Users now have the option to run event-triggered flows either as the user who triggered the flow or as the org’s default workflow user. This flexibility is crucial for avoiding issues in scenarios where callouts and DML operations are mixed.
6. Progress Saving in Flow Building: The ability to save a flow at any stage of the building process has been expanded. Errors that previously prevented saving are now converted to warnings, allowing for a more fluid and uninterrupted flow creation experience.
7. Improved Resource Selection in Flow Builder: The resource selection experience in Flow Builder has been enhanced, extending beyond Create Records to Delete Records, Get Records, and Update Records elements. This improvement makes it easier to find and select the necessary resources, streamlining the flow building process.
8. Integration of AI Model Predictions in Flows: Users can now incorporate predictions from AI models into their flows. This feature enables the use of actionable insights for decision-making based on the model’s scoring of records.
9. Debugging Tool for Data Cloud-Triggered Flows: A new debug tool in Flow Builder allows for testing and troubleshooting Data Cloud-Triggered flows. This tool enables users to select an existing Data Cloud record to test specific conditions without impacting actual records.
10. Custom Input Validations for Screen Extension Components: The capability for custom user input validations has been extended to all screen components in Screen Element. Users can now customize error messages and define allowed values for components using a formula, enhancing the user experience and data accuracy.

These features represent a significant leap forward in Salesforce’s capabilities, each designed to enhance user experience, streamline processes, and leverage the robustness of the Salesforce platform.
