Introducing FlowDelta

Everyone in the Salesforce world has opinions about Flows. Not all of them are positive and there are good reasons for that. For one, reviewing them is awful. Pull Requests work well enough for code. You can read it and understand what changed. You have all the context you need. You review it in the same form it was created.

Flows are not created in a text editor. They’re created using a click and drag builder. It’s a visual tool that demands a visual review.

FlowDelta is that visual review tool. It leverages static HTML artifacts that are fully interactive: pan, zoom, change filters (before, after, or focus in on just what changed) and dark and light themes. It shows each node and connection that changed, highlighting every added, deleted, or modified node and property.

FlowDelta runs entirely inside your own CI, using your own token, and produces an artifact that lives in GitHub/GitLab.

It’s free, MIT-licensed, and live now:

• Homepage & screenshots: syntax-syllogism.com/flow-delta
• Source & docs: github.com/Syntax-Syllogism/flow-delta
• Live examples: a sample GitHub PR and a sample GitLab MR

Special thanks to Mitch Spano and flow-lens, for the inspiration and for open-sourcing the flow parser, which FlowDelta uses.

If you review Flow changes regularly, I hope FlowDelta makes you smile the next time you do.
