Flow Action: Call Subflow

Hi there! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Are you confused why we are talking about an Apex action that call another flow when we already have a ‘Subflow’ element in flows? Well, allow me…

If you’ve already started playing around with Record Triggered or Platform Event triggered flows, you might have noticed that the Subflow element is missing for them. Yes, so for the time being, we cannot call subflows in the above specified flow types. Quite a bummer!

Not to worry though! Apex actions to our rescue again.

How does it work?

So I’ve built an Apex action that enables you to call a flow as a ‘subflow’. The action takes follow values as input/output:

This action can prove to be very handy for calling for error handling flows and for many more use cases.

You can find the link for the unmanaged package and source code here: https://github.com/forcePanda/Flow-Repo/tree/master/Apex%20Actions/Call%20Subflow

Quick Demo? Of course!
