Convert Salesforce Workflow Rules to Flow

Salesforce retired Workflow Rules in favor of Flows, but migration is manual and error-prone. Each rule requires rebuilding the logic in Flow Builder. The Transform workbench reads the rule and generates the equivalent Flow, preserving all actions.

Manual
30-90 min per Workflow Rule
With SF Agent
~5 min per rule

The Manual Way

  1. 1Document the Workflow Rule: trigger criteria, immediate actions, time-based actions
  2. 2Create a new Record-Triggered Flow matching the trigger
  3. 3Recreate field updates as Assignment elements
  4. 4Recreate email alerts as Send Email actions
  5. 5Recreate outbound messages as HTTP callout actions
  6. 6Handle time-based actions with Scheduled Paths
  7. 7Deactivate the Workflow Rule, activate the Flow, test everything

With SF Agent

  1. 1Select the Workflow Rule in the Transform Workbench
  2. 2SF Agent reads the rule metadata from your org
  3. 3Generates an equivalent Record-Triggered Flow
  4. 4Field updates, email alerts, and time triggers preserved

Example

You type:

Convert the 'Closed Won Notification' Workflow Rule on Opportunity to a Flow, preserving the email alert and field update actions.

SF Agent generates:
  • Record-Triggered Flow: Closed_Won_Notification_Migrated
  • Trigger: After Update, when StageName changed to 'Closed Won'
  • Action 1: Field Update — set Closed_Date__c to TODAY()
  • Action 2: Email Alert — notify Account Owner
