Automation Flow Generate

This automates Salesforce Flow creation through a mandatory three-step MCP pipeline: fetch org schema metadata, select flow elements, then generate the XML piece by piece in a loop until complete. It handles all flow types (Screen, Autolaunched, Record-Triggered, Scheduled) and explicitly forbids shortcuts or manual XML editing. The pipeline can take many iterations for complex flows, which is expected. The main gotcha is the strict naming convention for inflightMetadata (use "apiName" not "objectApiName", "type" not "fieldType") and remembering that groundingMetadata from step one is already a string. If you need repeatable automation or record-triggered logic in Salesforce without writing Apex, this is the only supported generation path.

Overview

Salesforce Flows are powerful automation tools that enable complex business process automation without code. Flows can collect and process data through interactive screens, execute logic and calculations, manipulate records, call external services, and trigger based on various events. Flow types include Screen Flows (user-guided), Autolaunched Flows (background processing), Record-Triggered Flows (database events) and Scheduled Flows (time-based).
