General Flow Limits

When using flows, keep flow limits and Apex governor limits in mind.

Required Editions

View supported editions.

The maximum flow interview size is 1,000,000 B (approximately 1 MB). If the interview is too large, it can't be persisted or paused.

1In API version 57.0, the limit of 2000 flow elements was removed. In API version 56.0 and earlier, flows could have a maximum of 2000 flow elements.

2These limits don't apply to marketing flows. See the Limits for Marketing Flows section for more information.

3The license types that count toward this limit include: full Salesforce and Salesforce Platform user licenses, App Subscription user licenses, Chatter Only users, Identity users, and Company Communities users.

4In API version 61.0, the limit was changed to 215 MB. In API version 60.0 and earlier, the limit is 750 MB. Salesforce doesn’t report flow heap usage for this limit. The heap usage shown in Apex debug logs is for Apex governor limits, not for this flow limit.

For more limits, such as Create Records and other Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements per transaction, see Per-Transaction Flow Limits.

Limits for Marketing Flows

These limits apply to segment-triggered flows, form-triggered flows, automation event-triggered flows, activation-triggered flows, on-demand flows, and broadcast flows.

Total flows per flow type 2,000 50,000 50,000

1Automation event-triggered flows have a per-trigger-object limit that applies separately to each object, such as Lead, Contact, or Prospect. This limit is separate from the org-wide active flows allocation. When you reach the limit for a trigger object, deactivate an active automation event-triggered flow for that object before you activate another one.

Segment-triggered flows, form-triggered flows, automation event-triggered flows, activation-triggered flows, on-demand flows, and broadcast flows bulkify certain operations, grouping together up to 200 record changes per transaction. For more information on bulkification, see Flow Bulkification in Transactions. Elements that can trigger bulkified operations include:

  • Create Records
  • Get Records
  • Update Records
  • Delete Records
  • Subflows
  • Apex Actions
  • Flow Core Actions
