Hi everyone,
I've heard that Salesforce will be retiring Workflow Rules and Process Builder by the end of 2025. I'm currently using Approval Processes extensively in my organization.
Does anyone know if Approval Processes will also be discontinued or will they continue to be supported in the future? Additionally, do you think it would be best practice to replicate and maintain these approval processes as flows?
Thanks in advance!
"Approval processes haven’t gotten love in a long time. Does Salesforce plan to retire them? Where do they fit in the “move to Flow” timeline?
Salesforce does not plan to retire approval processes anytime soon, as it’s a feature that’s actively used by thousands of our customers. You might have heard that Flow Orchestration will replace approval processes long term, and that’s because we use an approval scenario to demonstrate Flow Orchestration capabilities. In its current state, Flow Orchestration can’t replace all capabilities of approval processes, but it will give you more flexibility in how you want to handle the approval because it’s based on Flow. With Flow Orchestration, you can design and automate a sophisticated business process that would require collecting information from multiple individuals or systems. It starts with simple approvals, but it can do a lot more!"
