            Generate Flow Choice Options From External Data

            If your business process interacts with external data, your users can select from it on flow screens.

            User Permissions Needed
            To open, edit, create, activate or deactivate a flow using all flow types, elements, and features available in Flow Builder, including Einstein and Agentforce for Flow: Manage Flow

            You can allow users to select external data.

            1. Create a collection choice set and reference an Apex-defined collection from an external service, Apex action, or another screen component.
            2. Add your collection choice set to the appropriate choice component, such as a picklist.
            Example
            Example

            For example, a car dealership stores car inventory data outside of Salesforce. They have an external service to access the inventory, and now their users can select which cars to view.

            At runtime, the picklist options are generated based on whatever data was populated in the referenced Apex-defined collection.
