In this article, let us see some important Salesforce Flow enhancements in Winter 26 release.
- All Resources’ menu updates: Resources menus is now made more easy to navigate. It now includes a ‘Quick Resources’ section which includes the resources that you are most likely to use. Eg: the Triggering Record in Record triggered flows will be automatically shown at the top of the menu. Also based on the type and context, the menu shows filtered options. Eg:The he Current Item from Loop resource is only displayed when you’re within a loop. In such cases, the values that don’t match the data type you’re assigning or comparing to are automatically hidden.
- Generative AI in Decision elements: To correctly identify the customer sentiments and decide the action based on it, generative AI which determine the actions based on natural language prompts is used within decision elements.
- Accessing new records immediately without a Get Records operation: Flows are now made simpler by allowing the user to access fields from the newly inserted record (created by a Create Records element) without having to do a separate Get Records operation.
- Get Related Records across all levels within a single Get Records element (Beta): A single Get Records element can be used to add related records by selecting ‘Also add related records’ when inserting a ‘Get Records’ element. With this new feature, the user gets the ability to loop through multiple levels of relationships. This netsed loop can then be used to perform updates, calculations or any other processes you want on the entire hierarchy of data.
- Compare flow versions to review changes and troubleshoot issues: Flow versions of autolaunched, schedule-triggered, platform event-triggered, and record-triggered flows can now be visually compared to track changes easily. We can compare any two versions to see what changes are made including flow properties, elements, resources, and connectors. The comparison results can be shared by URL to other flow users also.
- Action hub to manage all standard and custom actions: With the release of new Action Hub within the Automation App, Admins can now manage all standard and custom actions in the org. They can search among the actions to see the existing capabilities within the org and which flows are using those actions.
- Improvements in Debug experience: Debug set up model is moved to a resizable side panel giving greater workspace visibility. Also within the debug pane, a new View on Canvas button is visible which enables us to jump directly to any element on the canvas, making it easier to navigate while debugging.
