Flow Embedded Analytics and Flow Logging
Summary
Salesforce Spring '26 introduces Flow Embedded Analytics, a visual debugging tool integrated directly into Flow Builder that shows real-time execution data for flow elements. It helps admins and developers understand how flows run in production by displaying run counts, statuses, and durations on the canvas. For deeper analysis, enabling persistent logging stores detailed execution data in Data Cloud, allowing building of custom reports on flow performance and troubleshooting. This empowers teams to optimize and monitor flow automations with clear, actionable insights.
Takeaways
- Use Flow Embedded Analytics to see element run counts and performance directly in Flow Builder.
- Enable persistent logging per flow to record detailed execution data in Data Cloud.
- Set up org-level persistent logging from Flow Settings or Automation app Flow Logs tab.
- Analyze flow execution with FlowRun and FlowElementRun report types for deeper insights.
- Be aware that persistent logging consumes Data Cloud credits.
With the Salesforce Spring '26 release , Flow debugging just got a whole lot more visual. Flow Embedded Analytics is now available in every org, bringing real execution insights directly into Flow Builder. You can see total runs on each element right on the canvas, plus aggregated stats such as element run status and total duration in the side panel. Instead of guessing what’s happening at runtime, you get a clear view of what’s actually executing exactly where you are building. Let's see how Flow Embedded Analytics works. What is Flow Embedded Analytics? Flow Embedded Analytics brings run and performance insights directly into Flow Builder. It is available in auto layout and supports all flow types except Screen Flows. Once your flow is activated and has run at least once, each element in auto layout shows its total number of runs right on the canvas. To view more details, click an element and open the Analytics tab.
