            Process Builder Value Types

            When setting a value for a given field—whether on the record that started the process or a related record— the available value types are filtered based on the field that you’ve selected.

            Required Editions

            Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience
            Available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
            Important
            Important Support and updates for Process Builder have ended as of December 31, 2025. This means that support won't be provided for any process and bugs in the Process Builder product won't be fixed. See Workflow Rules & Process Builder End of Support.

            After December 31, 2025, existing processes continue to run, and you can activate, deactivate, and edit them; however, we recommend using Flow Builder. To migrate existing processes, plan your switch to Flow Builder and use the Migrate to Flow tool. For new automations, create flows in Flow Builder.

            The available value types are:

            • Currency—Manually enter a currency value.
            • Boolean—Choose a true/false boolean value.
            • Date/Time or Date—Manually enter a date/time or date value.
            • Formula—Create a formula expression.
            • Global Constant—Choose a global constant to set a value to null or an empty string—for example, choose $GlobalConstant.Null.
              Note
              Note These global constant values aren’t supported with the is null operator.
              • $GlobalConstant.Null
              • $GlobalConstant.EmptyString
            • ID—Manually enter a Salesforce ID value, for example, 00300000003T2PGAA0.
              Note
              Note If your process is based on a user ID (for example, when an [Event].OwnerId equals a specific ID value) make sure that the ID value is an 18-character ID and not a 15-character ID. You can convert a 15-character ID to 18 characters at www.adminbooster.com/tool/15to18.
            • Multi-Picklist—Choose one or more multi-select picklist values.
            • Number—Manually enter a number value.
            • Picklist—Choose a picklist value.
            • Queue—Search for a specific queue in your org.
            • Reference—Choose a field on the record or on a related record.
            • String—Manually enter a string value.
