Before you create an app extension, make sure that you have already created a flow.
Note You must use the Field Service
Mobile flow type.
-
From Setup, enter Field Service Mobile Settings in the Quick Find
box, and select Field Service Mobile Settings.
Note Only the user profiles assigned to the mobile settings configuration you select have access to the flow. To manage user profile assignments, click Manage Assignments on the Field Service Mobile Settings page. - In Lightning Experience, click the dropdown menu next to the mobile settings configuration that you want to add the flow to and select Show Details. If you’re using Salesforce Classic, click the name of the mobile settings configuration that you want to add the flow to.
- In Lightning Experience, under App Extensions, click New. If you’re using Salesforce Classic, under App Extensions, click Add.
- Enter a label for your app extension. This label is what your users see in the user interface.
- For Type, select Flow.

-
For Scoped to Object Types, which controls where users can find and activate the flow,
enter the API name of the object.
If you want to scope the flow to multiple objects, separate the object names with a comma and no space. For example, if you enter WorkOrder,Contact, users can activate the flow from the detail page of a work order or contact.
To create an unscoped flow action so that users can activate the flow from multiple screens, leave this field blank.
