Action Buttons in Screenflow

The new Action Buttons feature in Screen Flows introduces a major leap forward in building responsive, single-page applications within Salesforce. By enabling users to trigger actions and process logic without leaving the current screen, this feature helps you streamline workflows and dramatically improve the user experience.

Here’s what you can now do– all on one screen:

  • Retrieve data dynamically (e.g. view related contacts after selecting an account)
  • Run logic instantly (e.g. check inventory or calculate pricing based on selections)
  • Update UI elements in real-time without navigating away or refreshing

This means faster interactions, fewer clicks, and a more seamless experience for users, whether you’re building internal tools for your team or customer-facing flows.

Implementation is simple: just drag an Action Button onto your flow screen, define what it does, and connect it to your data or logic. No Apex required.
