Flows is the present and future of Automation in Salesforce and continues to take more and more Centre stage. Every Salesforce release contains tens of enhancements to Flows. In Spring ’23 Release of Salesforce, we could find about 26 enhancements related to Salesforce Flows.
And here is our top pick from these enhancements:
- Make HTTP Callout from Flow (Beta)
- Flow Limit of 2000 Elements Removed
- Select a Value from a List of Choices with the Choice Lookup Component
- Data Table now in GA
- Convert Processes to Flows with the Migrate to Flow Tool
- Run Flows in User Context via REST API
- Add Lookup Fields to Your Flow Screens with Ease
To make it easier for you to understand these new features and enhancements, we have created a presentation with screenshots and link to the related Spring ’23 release note articles.

Did Salesforce give us any way to enble the “Run Flows in User Context via REST API” enforcement ahead of the release? The steps in the “release updates” section only walk through testing, no mention of a setup option to turn this on.
Hi Chris, this needs be to enabled from release update under Setup. There isn’t a separate setup option for this.
Hi Ashish.
Thanks for this excellent summary.
I’m particularly happy to see the 2000-element limit go away finally. As the product team says, “it was somewhat arbitrary”. Of course, other recent improvements such as batching in Scheduled Flows and the collection processing elements have made it easier to avoid 2000 runtime steps, but I’m very happy to no longer have to deal with this limit.
Thanks Charles as always great to hear from you.
I completely agree with you. This limit was too limiting and one of the major concerns in using Flows (at least for me). Now Salesforce has taken care of it!
