The Summer 2024 Salesforce release brings a wealth of enhancements to Flow Builder, making automation faster to build, easier to manage, and more powerful for both admins and developers.
One of the most exciting additions is Einstein for Flow. Rather than building flows from scratch, admins now have a starting point. Einstein surfaces 3 to 6 element flows for both standard and custom objects and fields, with a step-by-step setup process that significantly reduces the time and complexity of flow creation. A new flow creation app takes this even further, allowing users to simply describe the task they need in an instruction box and let the platform generate a starting structure.
These additions reflect a clear shift in how Salesforce is positioning Flow Builder: less configuration overhead, more time spent on the logic that actually matters to the business.
Watch the demo below to see these features in action before the full breakdown.
Everything that changed in Flow Builder.
Provides a pre-built starting point for flows covering standard and custom objects and fields. Includes a guided step-by-step setup and a natural language instruction box so admins can describe what they need and let the platform generate the initial structure.
A redesigned flow management experience with Lightning list view search, custom category and subcategory fields for organization, and customizable pages within the app for a more personalized workflow.
Allows users to add as many data sets as needed within a screen flow. Supports most standard screen components as child components and includes conditional visibility, input validation, and help text out of the box.
New conditions that streamline flow logic by checking for empty or null values without requiring workaround formulas. A small but meaningful quality-of-life improvement for anyone building data validation flows.
Enhancements to data transformation tools and debugging capabilities for scheduled flows improve accuracy and reduce the time spent troubleshooting complex automation.
Together these updates make Flow Builder a faster, smarter, and more manageable tool for automation at every level of complexity. Whether you are building your first flow or maintaining hundreds across a large org, the Summer 2024 release gives admins meaningfully better tools to work with.
