Hi Community,
While working on a personal ServiceNow project in my Personal Developer Instance, I relied heavily on Flow Designer and learned a few practical best practices that made a big difference.
Sharing these in case they help others:
• Keep flows small and focused — avoid doing everything in one flow
• Use clear naming for actions and subflows to improve readability
• Prefer subflows for reusable logic
• Add decision points carefully to avoid complex branching
• Test flows incrementally to simplify troubleshooting
This was a self-initiated learning project (not production work), but following these practices made the solution easier to maintain, explain, and refine.
Question to the community:
What Flow Designer practice has helped you the most in real implementations?
Looking forward to learning from your experiences.
