Built-In Flow Progress Bar for Screen Flows
One of the most anticipated enhancements, the built-in progress bar for Screen Flows, offers a seamless way to guide users through multi-step processes. With two indicator styles available:
Simple Indicator: Displays dots and a connecting line. Stage names appear when hovering over the dots, providing a clean and unobtrusive look.
Path Indicator: Always shows stage names alongside progress, giving users clear visibility into their current step and upcoming stages.
This feature is invaluable for agents handling complex workflows, such as step-by-step troubleshooting or detailed case updates.
Attachments in the Send Email Action
Agents can now attach files directly to emails sent via the Send Email action in Flows. By leveraging a text variable with comma-separated file IDs, agents can easily include relevant attachments, such as invoices, troubleshooting guides, or case notes. This enhancement eliminates the need for workarounds and streamlines communication with customers.
Revamped Flow Creation Experience
The new Flow creation screen, now referred to as "New Automation," delivers a streamlined user experience. Key improvements include:
One-click Flow creation, reducing unnecessary steps.
Enhanced filtering and organization of Flow types, making it easier to find the right automation tool for specific contact center needs.
These updates simplify the process of designing automations, allowing administrators to focus more on building effective solutions.
Einstein-Powered Flow Descriptions
With Einstein Generative AI, Salesforce introduces automated Flow documentation. The AI-generated descriptions include:
An overview of all steps in the Flow.
Details about input and output variables.
A summary of objects impacted and subflows invoked.
This feature is especially useful for teams managing complex contact center automations, providing clear documentation for training and maintenance purposes.
Real-Time Screen Validations
Field validations in Screen Flows now occur in real time, prompting users to correct errors before progressing to the next step. For agents working in high-pressure environments, this enhancement minimizes delays caused by incomplete or incorrect data entry, ensuring smoother interactions with customers.
Transform Element for Joining Collections
Contact centers often deal with disparate data sources. The new Transform element allows teams to merge multiple collections into a single unified dataset. This capability is perfect for blending information from various systems, such as customer history and agent performance metrics, to create comprehensive reports or drive informed decision-making.
Get Records Enhancements
The Get Records element now includes the ability to set a maximum number of records returned, akin to SQL queries. By retrieving only the necessary data, contact centers can:
Improve Flow performance.
Reduce processing time for large datasets.
Ensure agents have the most relevant information during customer interactions.
Screen Actions in Flows
Screen Actions enable flows to trigger events dynamically, eliminating the need for users to click buttons manually. For instance, an agent updating customer preferences in a Screen Flow can automatically trigger subsequent actions, such as sending confirmation emails or updating records, without additional input.
Why These Updates Matter for Contact Centers
The Flow enhancements in the Spring ’25 release demonstrate Salesforce’s commitment to empowering contact centers with advanced automation tools. These features:
Simplify complex workflows, saving time for agents and administrators.
Enhance data accuracy and reduce errors during customer interactions.
Provide detailed documentation and monitoring tools for better system oversight.
