Understanding Flow Builder elements
After you select your flow type, you will be taken to the Flow Builder canvas where you can add elements by clicking the “+” symbol. Flow elements are all the items you can place within a flow that have different purposes. They represent the “steps” of a flow. As you can see in the following screenshot, they are organized into three main categories:

In this section, we will go through each of these categories in turn:
- Interaction elements are ways that a flow can interact with users or other automations in Salesforce, including Apex classes and other flows.
- Logic elements are used to design the path of your flow. These elements are where you will have your business logic to determine what screens users see and what data gets updated.
- Data elements are what we use to make changes to Salesforce data.
