In this blog, we’ll dive into the Salesforce Flow Updates introduced in the Spring ’25 Release. We’ll explore their practical applications and how they enhance user experiences. This release emphasizes improved usability, efficiency, and functionality in Salesforce Flows. With upgrades like enhanced Flow Builder features, reactive screen actions, and progress indicators, Spring ’25 takes automation to the next level.
Let’s explore each Salesforce Flow Updates
1. View Flow Versions Side by Side
The Spring ’25 update introduces the ability to open flow versions in separate tabs directly within the Flow Builder. This feature allows you to compare different versions side by side on the same canvas, streamlining the debugging process and improving efficiency.
2.Smarter Search in Resource Picker
The resource picker now features enhanced nested search functionality, simplifying the process of finding the right resources. Whether you're looking for record variables, custom labels, or global variables, the improved search algorithm delivers faster and more precise results. Developers working with flows containing numerous variables can quickly locate specific custom labels or global variables, saving valuable time and effort.
3.Limit Retrieved Records Directly in the Get Records Element
This new feature allows you to limit the number of records retrieved directly in the Get Records element, similar to the LIMIT clause in SOQL, without requiring separate sorting or filtering elements. You can store the limited records within the Get Records element by specifying a value (2–20,000) or referencing a number variable to control the collection size. Previously, this was achievable using collection sort, as shown below.
Previously, an extra element was required for this functionality. With the Spring ’25 update, you can now directly limit records within the Get Records element. Simply select the "All records, up to specified limit" checkbox and specify the limit directly, or create a resource to store the value.
4. Send Email with Attachments
The Send Email action in flows now natively supports sending emails with attachments. Just provide a list of Content Version IDs, and the attachments will be included in your email.
5. Real-Time Input Validation
Spring ’25 brings immediate input validation to screen flows. Errors are flagged as soon as the user interacts with a field, instead of waiting until they click “Next.” This enhancement enables faster error correction and enhances the user experience.
6. Progress Indicators for Screen Flows
Salesforce now offers standard progress indicators for Screen Flows, providing a visual guide for users through multiple flow stages and enhancing clarity. Stages can be defined as resources and assigned to specific screen elements, with the progress indicator dynamically updating as users navigate the flow.
Conclusion
The Salesforce Flow Updates in the Spring ’25 Release introduce powerful new features that help developers and admins work more efficiently while enhancing the user experience. These updates not only make Flow a more robust tool but also improve usability, saving time and effort in managing processes.
