Learning Flow Designer in ServiceNow is generally considered easier compared to learning legacy workflows. Here are a few reasons why:
Visual Interface: Flow Designer provides a visual interface for designing workflows, making it easier to understand and work with compared to the script-based approach of legacy workflows. The drag-and-drop interface allows users to easily create, modify, and visualize workflows without writing code.
No Scripting Required: Flow Designer allows you to build complex workflows without the need for scripting. While some advanced scenarios may still require scripting, many common workflow tasks can be accomplished using pre-built actions and components provided in Flow Designer.
Native Integration: Flow Designer is tightly integrated with other ServiceNow applications and features, making it easier to create workflows that interact with ServiceNow data and processes. It also offers out-of-the-box integration with various third-party systems and services.
Built-in Testing: Flow Designer includes built-in testing capabilities that allow you to validate and debug workflows directly within the designer interface. This makes it easier to troubleshoot issues and ensure that workflows function as expected.
Community Support: As Flow Designer is the modern workflow engine in ServiceNow, it receives active support and updates from ServiceNow. Additionally, there is a growing community of users and developers who share tips, best practices, and resources for working with Flow Designer.
Overall, while there may still be a learning curve involved in mastering Flow Designer, its visual interface, native integration, and built-in capabilities make it generally easier to learn and work with compared to legacy workflows in ServiceNow.
