Salesforce recommends the following best practices when designing Flows:
B. ✅ Plan out the flow before building. Diagramming logic ensures better structure and avoids mistakes.
D. ✅ Always include error handlers to gracefully manage flow failures and provide user-friendly error messages.
E. ✅ Wait until the end of the flow to make database changes. This avoids unnecessary DML operations and helps optimize performance by using fewer resources.
Incorrect Options:
A. There’s no need to create and delete a “draft” version. Versions can be deactivated instead.
C. Hardcoding Salesforce IDs is discouraged. Admins should use dynamic values (e.g., Get Records) to promote flow reusability across environments.
Reference Extract from Salesforce Developer Blog – Best Practices for Building Flows:
“Avoid hard-coded values, especially record IDs.”
“Use fault connectors or subflows to handle errors.”
“Minimize DML operations and wait until the end to make updates.”
