Workflow replacement - Flows or Playbooks

Khanna Ji
Tera Guru

Hello Everyone,

 

I'm facing a decision regarding migrating our workflow to either Flow Designer or Playbooks. I'm uncertain about the best course of action. We have a key workflow that is crucial for our catalog items, as it retrieves data from a custom table to manage approvals and tasks, and it's utilized for 90% of our catalog items.

 

Should we focus on converting this workflow into flows, or should we opt for playbooks, either creating one for each catalog item or a single, common playbook (if feasible)?

 

I'd love to hear about your experiences or approaches in similar situations.

Hi @Khanna Ji 

 

In your case, since the workflow drives 90% of catalogn items (approvals, tasks, custom tables), this is an ideal candidate for Flow designer.

Use Playbooks only if you need agent- facing guided experience in workspace.

I have given you my use case with clear details. I do not want documented points from docs to make the decision. I am looking for expert advice who had already experienced it and took a right decision.

Hi @Khanna Ji 

Being a BPC, I will go with Flow Designer in this case. We are migrating 200+ catalog items from Workflow to Flow for my client. It’s hectic but a good time to invest effort.
