Aura components in running flows can behave differently than expected. Review Aura component behavior by distribution method before deployment.
| View supported editions. |
The flow runtime app that's used for some distribution methods doesn't include all the
necessary resources from the Lightning Component framework. When a flow is run from Flow
Builder or a direct flow URL (https://yourDomain.my.salesforce.com/flow/MyFlowName),
force and lightning events aren’t handled.
To verify the behavior of your Aura components, test your flow in a way that handles
force and lightning events, such as
force:showToast. You can also add the appropriate event handlers directly
to your component.
| Distribution Method | Handles force and lightning Events |
|---|---|
| Direct flow URL | No |
| Run and Debug buttons in Flow Builder | No |
| Run links on flow detail pages and list views | No |
| Web tab | No |
| Custom button or link | No |
| Lightning page | Yes |
| Experience Builder site page | Depends on the site. Aura sites can handle all flows. LWR sites have limitations, including not being able to run flows that use Aura components. |
| Flow action | Yes |
| Utility bar | Yes |
flow:interview Visualforce component |
No |
lightning:flow Aura component |
Depends on where you embed the component or whether your component includes the appropriate event handlers |
