What does a flow connector do?

A flow connector is a crucial component in Salesforce Flow that determines the sequence of execution within the flow. When you use a connector, you're essentially guiding the flow on which specific element to execute after the current step is completed. This capability allows for controlling the path and logic of the process, enabling complex decision-making and facilitating various operations based on specific criteria or outcomes from previous actions in the flow.

For instance, if a flow contains multiple decision points and actions, the connectors will dictate the flow's next steps—ensuring that it follows the intended logic to achieve the desired outcome. This structured navigation through the flow elements is what allows users to automate processes effectively and is fundamental to the design of Salesforce Flow.
