About this course

Flow Builder is Salesforce's primary no-code automation tool, replacing Workflow Rules and Process Builder as the standard way admins automate business processes on the platform. This Trailhead trail covers building record-triggered flows, screen flows for user interaction, scheduled flows for time-based automation, and autolaunched flows — the four flow types that handle the majority of real automation use cases.

Flow Builder skill is increasingly expected in Salesforce admin job descriptions as Salesforce officially retired Process Builder and Workflow Rules in favor of Flows. Admins who can't build Flows are working with deprecated tooling, making this an essentially required skill for anyone working professionally on the Salesforce platform.

What you'll learn

Build record-triggered flows for automatic field updates and record creation
Create screen flows for guided user data input experiences
Build scheduled flows for time-based automation
Debug and troubleshoot Flow errors
Understand when to use each flow type for different automation scenarios
