The document discusses the concept of flow bulkification in Salesforce, explaining key terms such as transactions and flow interviews. It highlights that while flows can bulkify certain elements that perform DML statements or SOQL queries, individual flow interviews are not bulkified unless executing the same element. Recommendations for bulkifying flows include avoiding use of specific elements inside loops and utilizing collection variables for mass operations.

- 5. A Conversation with Salesforce Docs Me: I am giving a session on Flow Bulkification SF Docs be like Me:
- 7. Common Terminology Transaction • Represents a set of operations that are executed as a single unit. Flow Transaction • A transaction represents a set of operations that are executed as a single unit in context of a flow. Flow Interview • A flow interview is a running instance of a flow. Bulkifiable Element • Flows can bulkify any element that performs a DML statement or SOQL query or does something else external to the flow, like sending an email. • Elements that can be bulkified by flows, for example, Create/Get/Update/Delete Records element and Actions(ex- Quick Action, Post to Chatter, Email Alerts, Apex Actions etc.) element.
- 9. Use case When a case is created, check if the parent Account of the case has more than 5 open cases, if yes, send an email to notify the account owner.
- 10. Flow Solution
- 11. Case 1: When a single case is created 11 2 3Case is created Flow is invoked Flow interview is created Flow Interview (Parent Account for this case has more than 5 open cases.)
- 12. (Parent Accounts for both the cases have more than 5 open cases.) Case 2: When 2 Cases are created. 1 32 Combined SOQL Combined Action Case 1 Case 2 Flow is invoked Flow interview for C1 Flow interview for C2
- 13. Conclusion: Are Flows bulkified?
- 14. Conclusion: Are Flows bulkified? Individual flow interviews(running instances of same flow) are not bulkified. Interview operations are bulkified only when they execute the same element.
- 15. What can I do to bulkify my Flows? • Avoid the using elements like Get Records, Update Records, Create Records etc. inside Loop structures. • Use collection variables to do mass operations. • Consider using Invocable Apex actions for handling complex business logics.
