Flow Builder

A declarative automation tool in Salesforce that allows you to build complex business processes without code.

Complete Definition

Flow Builder is Salesforce's visual automation tool that enables administrators and developers to create sophisticated workflows, guided screens, and background processes using a drag-and-drop interface.
