Six Sessions at London’s Calling on Flow … Here’s a Brief Look at Them
Six Flow-Focused Sessions at London’s Calling, Let’s Check Them Out
This coming Friday is London’s Calling. This will be the first that this event has been in-person since 2019, and it’s shaping up to be a fantastic event. There are a number of sessions to look forward to at this year’s event, so many in fact that I have to split this post highlighting recommended sessions in two.
The first post which went live this past Friday covered a wide-range of topics. This post, focuses solely on sessions relating to Flow. There are a lot of Flow focused sessions this year (and rightfully so). So let’s take a look at each of the sessions and see what they’re all about. Unlike the previous post, this post will look at all of the Flow sessions, as I honestly couldn’t decide which ones to take out of my list, this is why I split the content about London’s Calling into two posts. Hopefully you find this list helpful, you never know, we might bump into each other at one or more of the sessions on this highlights list.
Flow Sessions
There are six sessions in all that specifically focus on Flow at London’s Calling. Spanning from introductory content to stuff for more seasoned Flownatics. There’s a little bit of something here for everyone and I’m sure you’ll get something out of each and every session. Let’s take a look at the sessions now.
Fantastic Frameworks for Fast, Feature-Filled Flows
Flow is most certainly the future, no puns intended referring to another session on this list (or was there?). Right now, there is a real expectation on Admins to learn Flow, and rightfully so. That being said, there are a number of Admins out there, who could use all the help they can get when it comes to building high-quality, high-performing Flows. This is where content like this comes in to play. In this session, Evan Ponter will guide explore frameworks that we can use for both before-save and after-save Flows, helping us all to get the most out of the Record-Triggered Flows we build in our Salesforce orgs.
Migration to Salesforce Flows — Getting it Right
It can be said without a doubt that one of the biggest talking points around Flow right is the topic of migrating older declarative automation, chiefly in the form of moving Workflow Rules and processes built in Process Builder to Flow. If you’re an Admin who is looking for some really great tips to move your existing automation out of Workflow Rules and Process Builder and into Flow, then you’re in luck here. Join Avi Rosenfeld as he guides you through some good ideas on how not to only migrate into Flow successfully, but how to build good Flows in general. This session will be really worth attending if you are an Admin who is either new to Flow or new to migrating automation to it.
Flow to the Future
Are you new to Flow? If so, this session might be just the one for you. In this session, Angus Brown and Barrie Robertson will guide you through how to set up your Flow environment to help you avoid future mistakes and challenges. With the recent announcement of the coming retirement of Workflow Rules and Process Builder, there has never been a better time to start learning Flow.
Go with the Flow-Ught Ohhh? Handling flow errors (your users will never know)
Flow is great … until you run into one of those pesky errors that is. Errors in Flow can be a right pain in the backside, especially when some of those errors don’t tell you all that much (unfortunately those kinds of errors do exist). Well, in this session, Sandi Zellner and Drew Tauber will go over some tips and tricks to help you not only avoid Flow errors, but to avoid having your end users see some of those pesky error messages that help absolutely no one. This session will be relevant if you’re a newbie to Flow, or a seasoned Flownatic.
Flow Actions x Custom Property Editor: Deliver Powerful Features with Rich UX
Have you tried to use invocable actions in Flow yet? If so, this session might be for you. Join Narender Singh as he explores how to use the Custom Property Editor to utilise an enhanced UI for creating heavy and complex invocable actions in Flow. This session will be quite an interesting one for sure, however, it is more than likely going to be a little more advanced in terms of content.
A match made in heaven! — How to use Lightning Web Components within a Flow
I love a good Screen Flow! In a number of instances I find them to be more useful than the standard create or edit components inside of Salesforce … that isn’t too controversial of a statement right? Well, what about Lightning Web Components? Have you used them before? To be honest I haven’t, LWC is more in the Developer realm than the Admin one, so I haven’t done too much with them. That being said, this session from Ashwin Kumar Srinivasan should prove to be very interesting. In it, Ashwin will show us how we can use reusable components in Screen Flows using code. This session will help you combine your knowledge of Flow and LWC to create rich user experiences.
