#TDX190 discussing

https://katiekodes.com/flow-apex-defined-data-types/

Summer '19 brings a new Flow Variable feature:  Apex-Defined Data Types.  But what are they?  The release notes felt a little vague, so I played around and wrote up my findings.  The TL;DR:

1. Apex-Defined Data Types use a small amount of Apex code to let admins building Flows collect multiple sub-variables into a single outer variable, much like a “Contact” record has a “FirstName” & “LastName” within it.
2. This makes an admin’s life easier when using “Invocable Apex” in Flows.
3. This makes a dev’s life easier when building “Invocable Apex” that does “callouts” to 3rd-party “APIs.”

To walk through all of these uses, I wrote step-by-step tutorials to build flows that let you see them in action, including a random silly GIF picker.  Hope it helps, and enjoy the weekend.  Especially if you're decompressing from getting to go to #TDX19, you lucky dog.  https://katiekodes.com/flow-apex-defined-data-types/
