Use resources and fields of the Time data type to process data where only the time of day matters and not the associated date. You can specify the time of the day down to the exact millisecond. The Time data type is available across flow elements, formula builder, expression builder, subflows, and resources such as variables and constants. It’s also available in input and output to and from invocable actions. The time data type isn‘t supported in the offline flows available on the Salesforce Mobile app
Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions. This change applies to flows that run in API version 64.0 and later
How: The time data type is available across flow elements such as Action, Assignment, Collection Filter, Collection Sort, Create Records, Delete Records, Decision, Get Records, Subflow, Transform, Update Records, and Wait for Conditions. Use these time functions in the formula editor: HOUR(), MINUTE(), SECOND(), MILLISECOND(), TIMENOW(), and TIMEVALUE(). When you enter a time in a time field, use the hh:mm:ss.SSS AM/PM format. Including seconds or milliseconds is optional. For example, 9:00 AM, 5:30:05 PM, and 14:45:53.650 PM are valid time values
For example, with the time data type, you can create a flow that sends an email reminder 30 minutes before a meeting. You can also use it in decision elements to check the time of day, and then take different actions based on whether it’s before or after business hours. While you can create these example flows with resources and fields of the date/time data type, you’d need to use flow formulas to extract time from the date/time input. Resources and fields of the time data type allow for direct and straightforward use of time in your flows
