Create Responsive Screens with Automatically Triggered Screen Actions (Beta)

You can now run autolaunched flows automatically in the background when the input values associated with screen actions change. Previously, the only way to trigger a screen action was with the click of a button by using the Action Button component. The output can be displayed on the same screen, so your users can see the results of their actions on the same screen without clicking any buttons

How: In Flow Builder:

Create and activate an autolaunched flow that retrieves data and saves that data in output variables

Create a screen flow and add a Screen element

Add a screen action and select the autolaunched flow that you created. Configure the screen action, and set input values

Add another component to the screen element that uses the output of the autolaunched flow. To use the output from the autolaunched flow, in the screen component’s input, select the autolaunched flow, then Results, and finally the output variable from the autolaunched flow. Only the variables that were marked as Available for output are available

Save and run the flow

Example: Build a flow that will show all contacts for a selected account record

Create and activate an autolaunched flow that retrieves all contacts for an account and return the list of contacts

Create a Screen flow and add a screen element to it

Add a Lookup component so that users can select an account record

Add the activated autolaunched flow as a screen action and set the input values so the autolaunched flow will run when the input values for the Lookup component change

Add a Data Table component with source collection the autolaunched flow output and add the Full Name, Email, and Business Phone as the data table columns. The output of the autolaunched flow automatically populates the Data Table when the lookup value changes

At run time, when your user selects an account, they automatically see all the contacts for that account on the same screen—no button clicks required

View Immediate Feedback from Screen Components with Invalid Values

Now flow users can see whether an input value in a flow screen component is invalid when the user changes the focus to outside the component. For example, the user enters a value for an email component. The component validates that the input value contains the right domain as soon as your user clicks another screen component. Previously, component validation error messages appeared only when you moved to another screen or finished the flow.

Where: This feature is only available in flows that run on API version 63.0 or later and not supported in Classic runtime for flows

Image 2. No invalid email format message is shown when email is in the right format

Guide Users Through Screen Flows with Built-In Visual Progress Indicators

Visually guide users through the stages of screen flows by using the built-in progress indicator. Progress indicators can be simple or path-style and can be positioned at the top of the screen or in the footer

Where: Built-in progress indicators are enabled by default for flows created in Spring ’25 and later. For flows that were created in Winter ’25 or earlier, the built-in progress indicators must be manually enabled. Built-in progress indicators aren’t supported in Field Service Mobile or Salesforce Scheduler flows. The progress indicator settings are ignored when the flow is implemented in an Actions & Recommendations component because the component already displays the stages

How: Progress indicators use stage variables to determine what stage the user is on. To use the new progress indicators feature:

Open the flow version properties and select the progress indicator type [1]

Create stage resources and define the stage label, order, and whether the stage is active by default or not

Select the stage resource under the Stage field of the Screen element, or assign the stage resources manually by using assignment elements [2]

When a screen loads, $Flow.CurrentStage is automatically updated to the stage that’s associated with the screen, and the stage is added to the end of $Flow.ActiveStages if it isn’t an active stage already

Path Indicator Type: Top of Screen

Simple Indicator Type: Top of Screen

Simple Indicator Type: Footer of Screen
