Considerations and Limitations for Flows in Lightning Pages

Here are some things to keep in mind when you add a flow component to a Lightning page.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Lightning pages always use Lightning runtime, so also review Limitations of Lightning Runtime for Flows.

  • Running Flows from a Lightning Page—When a user opens a Lightning page that has a flow component, the flow runs when the page loads. Make sure that the flow doesn’t perform any actions, such as create or delete records, before the first screen.
  • Input Variable Limitations—These variables aren’t supported.
    • Collection variables
    • Record variables
    • Record collection variables
  • The component supports only manually entered values for input variables.
  • Text input variables accept a maximum length of 4,000 characters.
  • Deployment Considerations—Change sets and the Metadata API deploy all flows as inactive, which users can’t run. If you deploy a Lightning page (known as FlexiPage in the API) that contains a flow component, make sure to activate the flow.
