Description
Apex actions in Flow Builder are a type of custom code that allows you to execute Apex code within a flow. Using Apex actions, you can perform complex logic, integrate with external systems, and execute custom business processes that cannot be achieved using standard Salesforce automation tools.
Apex actions in Flow Builder are similar to Apex actions in Process Builder, but they offer more flexibility and control over the execution of the code. With Apex actions in Flow Builder, you can pass data from the flow into the Apex code and retrieve data back into the flow. This enables you to create more complex and dynamic flows that can handle a wider range of scenarios.
To use an Apex action in Flow Builder, you first need to create an Apex class that contains the code you want to execute. You can then add the Apex action to your flow and configure it to pass data to and from the flow. You can also set up input and output variables to control the flow of data between the flow and the Apex code.
One of the benefits of using Apex actions in Flow Builder is that you can take advantage of the powerful tools and features of Flow Builder to create custom user interfaces and automate complex business processes. For example, you can create a flow that prompts users to enter data, validates the data using Apex code, and then updates records in Salesforce based on the input.
Overall, Apex actions in Flow Builder provide a powerful and flexible way to extend Salesforce's automation capabilities and create custom business processes that meet the unique needs of your organization.
