Flow Orchestrator under 7 Minutes

Understanding Flow Orchestrator Under 7 Min

Flow Orchestration is another capability Salesforce has recently added under the low code umbrella. I will be quick and to the point in this blog post to help you understand when & how to use it.

Important points to know about Flow Orchestrator

  • It supports multi-step, multi-user orchestrator capabilities for Flow
  • Multiple Flows (Sub flows) can be tied together
  • Orchestrator basically contains stage, step & decision components
  • The stage comprises multiple sub-flows and can control the sequence of execution of those flows
  • Steps are either Screen flow or Auto launch flow
  • Each Screen flow can be assigned to a user, queue, or public group
  • Orchestrator can be only launched on record create or update (Record triggered flow)
  • All sub-flows (steps) can be connected by only the current object which started the flow
  • Flow Orchestrator component needs to be added on the lighting page so that assignee can see if any action is waiting on them
  • Another way to see all pending actions assigned to the user is by navigating to the tab Orchestration Work Items

Considerations

  • This is not a new tool, it can just control the sequence of sub-flows & take some decisions
  • Outgoing email content to the user assigned cannot be changed

    The article says “Orchestrator can be only launched on record update, delete” but your video says create or update.

      You have an eagle eye, good catch. The correct statement is “record is created or updated”.
