It is tool in Salesforce that is capable of doing some activities
like making complex logical decisions, data query, update and
delete records. The user input is in the form of a preconceived
logic. It is here that the user needs to use a Lightning runtime
and this what gives flow an engaging look. The Lightning
runtime gives the appearance of the Lightning experience.

Afterall, Lightning components are codes, so what then is
the point to use them in flow. Flows are not good at
displaying of lists say an account list. So, it becomes
easier for the Lightning component to display.

Components in Flow?

Flow in tab
We can create a dedicated page which
has an embedded flow in it. There is no
Visualforce side involved into this.

Actions in Flow
They are predefined fields but looks like a button. You need to
create a new action In the objects section and a flow type.
You need to use a variable named as recordId, case sensitive
and can be used inside the flow variable. The action then
recognizes this automatically as an input variable.

while we use a mobile client and this way we can avoid
loading time.
