What's New in Flow Designer in Washington DC​? - Creator Toolbox

[Earl Duque]

In this episode of Creator Toolbox, we delved into the exciting new features of our platform, focusing on enhancing user experience and providing more robust tools for workflow management. The episode was brought to you by your Senior Developer Advocates: Lauren McManamon, Chuck Tomasi, and Pranav Bhagat, with special guest Jingfei Chen, Principal Inbound Product Manager for Flow Designer. This blog post was prepared by Earl Duque on behalf of this episode's hosts. Here's a recap of the key points discussed:

Auto-Save Functionality

One of the highlights is the introduction of auto-save functionality, providing an additional layer of safety and ensuring that your work is preserved in real-time. This feature is designed to be intentional, requiring users to actively choose to edit the flow to prevent accidental changes on the canvas.

Undo and Redo Limits

We also addressed questions about the limits on undo and redo actions. While there is a limit, it is determined by the system itself, ensuring optimal performance without compromising on user flexibility.

Workflow Event Capability

A significant update is the introduction of workflow event capability, allowing for flow continuation from outside the flow. This opens up new possibilities for integrating external triggers and enhancing the interactivity of workflows.

Community Questions and Feedback

Throughout the episode, we engaged with our community, addressing questions and providing clarifications on various topics. We discussed the flexibility of the new event trigger and how it can be used to initiate multiple executions in different branches of a parallel workflow.

Closing Thoughts

We're committed to continuous improvement and eagerly anticipate the innovative ways our users will leverage these new features in their workflows.

Stay tuned for more updates, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or feedback. Until next time, happy flowing!
