Big Idea or Enduring Question:
What if you could customize the Previous, Next, Finish, and Pause button label for Screen Flow? Ya, why endure mundane when we can jazz things up!! Let us do it!
A Screen Element allows you to take users’ input and process it – yes, one can write custom logic to process user-entered data. However, as opposed to Record-Triggered Flow or Scheduled-Triggered Flow – which doesn’t have the capability to take user input and process it – Salesforce Screen Flow can take user-entered data and process it further! So, let us harness the power of Salesforce Screen Flows – every drop, one at a time!
