Launch Customized Scheduling Flows in Workforce Scheduling
Clone a standard scheduling flow, customize it in Flow Builder, and make it available to users. You can override the standard flow so that the existing action button launches your customized version, or create a quick action to launch the flow from any supported object's record page.

Override a Standard Flow with a Cloned Flow
Activate a cloned scheduling flow to replace the standard flow that launches when users click New on the Interaction list view. Because Workforce Scheduling flows are overridden by default, activating a cloned flow automatically replaces the standard version.
-
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter
Flows, and then select Flows. - Open the standard scheduling flow you want to customize (for example, Schedule Appointment).
- Click Save As New Flow to create an editable copy.
- Enter a label and description for the cloned flow, and then click Save.
- Customize the flow with additional variables, fields, and screen elements as needed.
- Click Save, and then click Activate.
After activation, the New action on the Interaction list view launches the cloned flow instead of the standard version.
Launch a Cloned Flow from a Quick Action
