Salesforce's Winter '25 release is coming soon to our environments. Like past releases, it brings great features for Salesforce Flow. Check out the new flow features of Winter '25 release.
1- Save As Buttons
There are now two different "Save As" buttons. You can easily save your existing flow as a new flow with just one click.
2- Errors and Warnings Tab
There is now a new tab for errors and warnings, making it easier for admins to see all errors in one place.
3- Option to Disable Action Buttons
Action Button is a game changing screen component that Salesforce released in the Summer '24 release. Using an Action Button component, you can run autolaunched flows directly from a screen and receive an output.
There is now an option to disable an Action Button. For example, if it returns a success, you can disable the button to prevent the user from clicking it again.
4- Action Button Output - In Progress
Depending on the complexity of your autolaunched flow, an Action Button may take a few seconds to complete. The component now has an additional output called "InProgress", which returns true while the flow is in progress. By using this output and the new "Disabled" parameter, you can disable the button while it is running.
5- Transform Element Improvements
Starting with the Winter '25 release, the Transform element supports many more variable types. You can now choose any type of variable as the target data.
For instance, here is a Transform element that creates a text collection of Account IDs from a collection of Case records.
6- No More Auto-Naming
Previously, Flow was assigning a default label to each new element, which was considered a bug. In this release, they have fixed the issue, and new elements no longer receive default labels.
7- Upsert Multiple Records
In the Summer '24 release, Salesforce introduced a new option to check matching records when using the Create Records element. However, it was very limited.
In the Winter '25 release, it is now possible to upsert multiple records using a record collection. Additionally, you can choose the field to identify existing records and decide what to do if a create or update fails. This is a significant improvement!
8- Send Email Action Improvements
It is now possible to add email addresses to CC and BCC. Moreover, the maximum total number of recipient email addresses is increased from 5 to 150. That's a huge difference!
9- Prepopulate Items in Repeater Component
Repeater component allows you to repeat a set of fields in a single screen element. It lets you add multiple records from one place without the need to navigate from the screen.
Starting with the Winter '25 release, you can prepopulate items in the Repeater component! Plus, you can let users add or remove prepopulated items.
Moreover, Repeater component now has more outputs.
10- Multi-Select Capability in Choice Lookup
Choice Lookup component now supports multiple selection.
11- Making Lookup Component Disabled
In the Summer '24 release, Salesforce added an option to make most screen components disabled or read only. However, the lookup component did not have these properties. It is now possible to disable the lookup component.
