What You'll Learn in This Course

Variables & Data Types

You'll understand how Flow variables map to Apex variables, covering core data types, as well as collections in Flow compared to Lists, Sets, and Maps in Apex. You’ll practice converting Flow variables into their Apex equivalents.

Logic & Control Structures

You will learn how decision elements relate to if/else statements, how to handle multiple conditions, and how Flow loops compare to for-loops in Apex. Exercises will give you hands-on practice transforming Flow logic into Apex code.

Working with Salesforce Data

This section covers how Flow’s Get Records and Create/Update Records elements map to SOQL queries and DML operations in Apex. You’ll also learn about handling bulkification and best practices for working with Salesforce data at scale.

Flow Types & Their Code 

Explore how different Flow types translate into Apex & Lightning Components, including autolaunched flows, record-triggered flows, platform event-triggered flows, scheduled flows, and screen flows. You’ll practice converting flows into Apex triggers and LWC.

Error Handling & Debugging

This module covers Flow fault paths, Apex try/catch blocks, and debugging techniques across both platforms. You’ll use tools like the Flow Debug panel, debug methods, and trace flags to find and fix issues. This training will ensure you understand how to troubleshoot common issues.

Advanced Patterns

You’ll dive into asynchronous processing by comparing Flow async paths with Apex Queueables, and learn strategies for managing governor limits and optimizing performance. While these topics may sound complex they are typically much simpler than they look.
