ServiceNow Flow Designer is the modern, low-code, and recommended tool for building automated processes, offering a natural language interface, extensive integration via Spokes, and improved reusability compared to the legacy, scripting-heavy Workflow Editor.
Flow Designer is ideal for new developments, while Workflow remains functional for complex, heavily scripted legacy processes
