Lightning Flow Builder: Your First Flow – Wizard’s Apprentice Episode 5

Welcome to episode 5! Ready to build your first Flow?

We’re going to put together all the lessons from the previous 4 episodes.

In episode 1, we did an overview of the Lightning Flow Builder and toured the tool. Episode 2 we learned about the Screen element and how we can use it to display information and ask for inputs from users. In episode 3 we reviewed how we can create different pathways and add logic by using the Decision element. In our last episode, we learned about Resources and how they are used to store information, records, and more.

The first four episodes set the foundation for building our first Flow.

We’re going to build something fun. Do you remember the Choose Your Own Adventure storybooks? In these books, every few pages you are presented with a choice to make. Depending on the choice you made, you are directed to a different page number in the book. When you think about it, this is nothing more than some text, choices, and evaluating which choice was selected. It sounds like a screen, choice resources, and decision elements in Lightning Flow Builder to me!
