Flow Orchestration Is Now a Standard Flow Type: No Add-On Required

Big news for the Salesforce Admin community: The power of Flow Orchestration is officially at your fingertips. Previously a paid add-on, Orchestration is now a standard Flow type included for all Salesforce customers (subject to edition limits for Flow).

For admins, this is more than just a product update. Flow Orchestration is a major toolkit expansion. You can now build complex, multi-user processes without the premium price tag or the headache of “daisy-chaining” dozens of individual flows.

Why every admin should care about Flow Orchestration

If a standard flow is a “specialist” that handles a specific task, then Orchestration is the “conductor” of your company’s most complex symphonies. With Orchestrator, you can string them together into a single, cohesive journey that spans different users, departments, and timeframes. It gives you a bird’s-eye view of your company’s most intricate workflows, so that you can:

• Connect the Silos: Easily hand off tasks between different users and departments (for example, Sales to Finance to Ops) within a single process.
• Manage “Human-in-the-Loop” Tasks: Build in pauses for approvals or manual steps that take days or weeks, without the automation “breaking.”
• Boost Visibility: Use the Orchestration Work Guide to show users exactly what they need to do and when, directly on their record pages.

The “paywall” is gone. Whether you’re managing complex onboarding, multi-stage approvals, or cross-departmental hand-offs, you now have the ultimate tool to make your business more efficient and your job a whole lot easier.

Why Flow Orchestration is a game-changer for admins

For Salesforce Admins, the true value lies in visibility and control. Instead of stitching together a web of Apex triggers, validation rules, and “In Progress” checkboxes to manage a multi-user process like employee onboarding or contract approvals, you can now build a high-level map that identifies exactly where a record is stuck.

This shift is a massive opportunity for admins everywhere to harness the “conductor’s baton” to make business processes more efficient and effective. Here’s how you can start to deliver immediate value.

• Parallel Processing: Eliminate the bottleneck. Instead of waiting for one person to finish before the next can begin, assign tasks to multiple people simultaneously.
• User Productivity: Get rid of the guesswork. Because the Orchestration Work Guide shows the user exactly what they need to do right on their record page, they never have to hunt for their next task.
• Approvals: Watch this episode of Kate Clicks Through It to see how we revolutionized the approval experience. 

Using Flow Orchestration elevates you from a “task automator” to a “business architect,” giving you the power to manage sophisticated, multi-step operations without ever touching a line of code.

Theory is great, but seeing is believing. Watch the video to see how Flow Orchestration eliminates manual handoffs and takes your business automation to the next level.
