Salesforce Lightning Builder Flows (Salesforce Lightning 构建Flows)

本文构建Salesforce Lightning Flows 只是一个简单的实现步骤，原文地址如下：

　　https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/business_process_automation/flow

在开始之前我们得先知道几个概念：

1. Lightning Flow：它是包含了构建、管理、运行流和流程的产品。
2. Flow Builder：它是构建Flow的工具。
3. Flow：通过收集数据并在Salesforce org或外部系统中执行某些操作来自动化业务流程的应用程序。

注：then add a flow action to your process。

• Flow 构建块

　　　　每个Flow都由三个构建块组成。

　　　　

1. 1. Elements：它显示在画布上。添加一个元素到画布，从工具栏单击或拖拽它。
   2. Connectors：定义flow在运行时的路径，它们告诉Flow接下来将做什么。
   3. Resources：是表示给定值的容器，如字段值或公式。您可以在整个流程中引用资源。例如，查找帐户的ID，将该ID存储在一个变量中，然后引用该ID来更新帐户。

• Flow 元素包含四种不同的类型
  1. Screen：向用户显示数据或从屏幕上收集用户输入的信息，可以在屏幕上添加简单的字段，像输入字段和单选按钮，以及out-of-the-box Lightning组件，如文件上传。
     

  2. Logic：控制Flow的数据Create，Update，循环结束设置数据。
  3. Actions：当您拥有必要的信息(可能通过屏幕从用户那里收集)时，在Salesforce中执行一些操作。Flow可以查找、创建、更新和删除Salesforce记录。他们还可以创建聊天帖子，提交记录以获得批准，并发送电子邮件。如果您的操作无法开箱即用，请从Flow中调用Apex代码。
  4. Integrations：通过使用核心操作或Apex操作将流连接到外部数据库。Core actions允许您在不经过Salesforce服务器的情况下发出请求。Flow Builder还与平台事件有一些关联。使用Create Records元素发布平台事件消息。使用Pause元素订阅平台事件。

  1.Toolbox：它里面包含元素和资源。　

  2.Canvas：Flow构建是在可视化界面构建。

  3.Button Bar：按钮提供关于Flow的任何信息，例如：

  　　1、Flow是否被激活

  　　2、Flow保存了多长时间

  　　3、流是否有任何警告或错误。要查看警告或错误，请单击相应的图标

  4.Keyboard Shortcuts：使用这些快捷键来快速浏览Flow

  　　1、windows快捷键：

  　　　　放大，按Ctrl =。

  　　　　缩小，按Ctrl -。

  　　　　适应，按Ctrl 0。

  　　　　缩放以查看，按Ctrl 1。

  　　　　要平移，按住空格键，同时用鼠标拖动画布。

   　　　　要选择画布上的多个元素，请按住Shift键并单击每个元素。

  　　2、Mac 快捷键：　　

  　　　　放大，按Ctrl =。

  　　　　缩小，按Ctrl -。

  　　　　适应，按Ctrl 0。

  　　　　缩放以查看，按Ctrl 1。

  • 要平移，按住空格键，同时用鼠标拖动画布。
    　要选择画布上的多个元素，请按住Shift或Command并单击每个元素。
