048: Deciding to Use Flow with Jennifer Lee

In this episode, Jennifer Lee and I talk about her experiences as a Lead Solution Designer at John Hancock. There are a lot of considerations when it comes to adding Flow into Salesforce applications and today, Jennifer helps us navigate through the different kinds of Flow and relevant use cases for them.

Jennifer is also one of the most ardent fans of Trailhead. Tune in to hear her experience with that program and her insight on all the different aspects of Flow. 

 

Show Highlights:

How Flow fits into application design. A description of Flow from a technical point of view. The different high-level ways we can invoke a flow. When to use screen flows, when to use Lightning Web Components, and when to use both. What unofficial SF is and how it’s useful. Good use cases for flows triggered by record actions, flows triggered by platform events, and scheduled flows. UI interactions that can kick off a flow.
