After Lucile Bougeret-Incardona article in #TexeiAdventCalendar yesterday, and as Spring21 release note is expected very soon (today 🤗), let’s focus on the top 3 features of Lightning Flow Builder I found in my pre-release org !
Of course, Safe Harbor, these are just my observations on my pre-release org. The release note will hopefully confirm these features are deployed in Spring21
1. Record Prior value :
when field history tracking is enabled on a standard or custom object, it is now possible to access the record’s field prior value anywhere in flow elements. This feature will fulfil many business use cases, in the Decision, the Get, Update and Create elements, Formulas ..
2. Scheduled Paths and Time Dependent actions :
we have now the possibility to schedule actions in the future as in workflow rules or process builders :)
3. Multi-columns screens in Screen flow builder :
it’s a Beta feature which allows to build multi-columns screens (screen components “Section (Beta)” in the Display category) with up to 4 columns per section. And you can adjust the width of each column individually (12 units to distribute between the 4 columns)
More new features on Lightning Flow Builder are to be discovered in the Spring21 release note expected today. Be ready to play with it in sandboxes …
