By now, I’m sure you’ve read about the new Flow features coming in the Spring ‘26 release, but I thought it might be helpful to see them put to use. In this demonstration, I’ll be upgrading an expense tracking app with the new Flow features in Spring ‘26 . Follow along, and consider ways that you could use some of these features as we go. The Scenario: Expense Tracking This fictional client has built a very basic system to enable their users to create expense records, see them in a list view, and create new expense records. They’ve even got a simple Screen Flow to help simplify this process. It’s a simple system – expense records are where the data is stored, as well as a handful of fields are used to capture the relevant information, and a Status bar shows the claim’s progress. There’s also a spot for the user to upload evidence of their expense, where it will be attached to Salesforce files. Simplicity is key with this client.
