I am spending HOURS to write basic logic in a flow that would've taken me seconds to write in Apex. How much longer will we have to endure this #AwesomeAdmin nonsense?!

Client gets what the client wants I suppose. Oh, and before you say "it's scalable, no devs needed" -- I doubt admins will understand massive flows like this.

I've had enough.

That’s where you as a consultant need to make the call of what the simplest path is. Just because a flow *can* be done, doesn’t mean it should.

If Apex can solve the problem more efficiently and with less overall tech burden, do it. Document the hell out of it, but do it.

Use invocable apex in a flow. Everyone wins.

If it's so complex, why aren't you splitting it into smaller invokable subflows thst *are* manageable?

...I didn't say I wasn't? A flow with a bunch of sub flows is still a massive flow. Also, we're working with callouts, so we're still forced to use Apex (for parsing). So even if an admin can handle the flow itself, if anything ever changes on the API side (how the JSON is structured for example), they still need a dev 🙂

There's definitely some limitations and considerations:

1. Flow provides no way to either prevent DML operations from committing, or to throw custom errors; the addError() Apex method is not supported when executed from Flow via Apex invocable method.
2. It may take additional care and consideration to design your record-triggered automation, particularly if you require callouts to external systems or need to perpetuate state between processes.
3. Making your record-triggered automation performant is a multidimensional problem, and no design rule will encompass all the factors.
4. The Flow runtime automatically performs cross-batch bulkification on behalf of the user. However, it does not perform any functional bulkification.
5. Flow’s formula engine sporadically exhibits poor performance when resolving extremely complex formulas. This issue is exacerbated in batch use cases because formulas are currently both compiled and resolved serially during runtime.

Do you have multiple flows on same object? I still prefer a trigger over flow specially for objects where I think flow would become a mess.

What other options would you design the automation?
