Flow Designer
Flow Designer provides process owners and developers these benefits:
- Automates repetitive work to improve efficiency and experience.
- Describes a workflow in natural language to help non-technical users understand what it does.
- Displays flows as diagrams to help builders see available paths and connections.
- Enables creating and testing a workflow from a single interface to ensure it works as expected.
- Promotes process automation by enabling subject matter experts to develop and share reusable actions with flow designers.
- Reduces upgrade costs, with upgrade-safe Now Platform logic replacing complex custom script.
- Reduces development costs by providing a library of reusable actions.
- Scales with separate subscriptions for integration and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) functionality.
