Designing for Flow Orchestration

Learn about what an orchestration is made of and how it relates to flows.

• Orchestrations
  An orchestration uses stages, steps, and decisions to organize complex business processes.
• Orchestration Types
  An orchestration’s type determines how the orchestration can be distributed.
• Triggers for Orchestrations
  Create record-triggered orchestrations to respond to record changes that require user input or additional record updates. Specify whether to trigger the orchestration based on new and changed records of a specific object in the Start element. Use Flow Trigger Explorer to manage the order of record-triggered automations.
• Building Blocks of Orchestrations
  Stages and steps are the building blocks of an orchestration.
• Error Handling in Orchestrations
  Error handling manages unexpected issues that occur in stages during an orchestration run. Configure fault paths for stages to define recovery actions when stage errors occur, ensuring orchestrations complete successfully instead of failing.
• Running Context of an Orchestration
  The running context determines the access that an orchestration has to Salesforce data and the context used by a paused orchestration to resume. By default, the running context of an orchestration is the Automated Process User in system context.
• Orchestration Versioning
  Flow Orchestration has two levels of versioning: the version of the orchestration and the version of a flow called by an orchestration.
• Orchestration Run
  An orchestration run represents an instance of a running orchestration.
