Flow enables developers and admins to easily automate complex processes and execute custom logic with clicks, not code. But you can also manipulate flows programmatically via the Metadata, Tooling and and, as of the Winter 16' release REST API - Flow Runtime. Join us to learn from the engineers who built the API how to manipulate flow with the API. See examples of how this empowers you to build better applications for your customers.

What is Visual Workflow

5. ​ Flows are visual representations of a series of events
• They can contain complex logic: multiple decisions (if / then), branching, and looping
• You can have users work with data / objects
• You can do more than creating tasks, field updates, and send emails – you can also create, update, and
delete multiple records – and embed a flow within a flow
​ When creating a Flow, there are a number of things to consider when you’re getting started
• What objects do I want to access?
• What are the fields I want to access?
• If creating a new record, what record types do I want to use, who should the owner be, and what are the
required fields for creating a new record?
• Build a flow chart of what you want to do
