Document Salesforce Flows the Smart Way with BOFC’s New Export Feature
Salesforce Flows are at the heart of modern automation — empowering teams to design powerful, no-code processes that enhance efficiency across the organization.
However, as the number of Flows grows, maintaining documentation and visibility can quickly become complex. That’s where BOFC’s new “Export Flow Description” feature steps in, helping Salesforce professionals export and document multiple Flows in just a few clicks.
The Challenge: Managing Salesforce Flows at Scale
Every Salesforce org eventually reaches a point where dozens (or even hundreds) of Flows exist — Record-Triggered, Screen, Scheduled, and Platform Event Flows.
When you’re handling so many, key challenges arise:
- Difficulty tracking what each Flow does or why it was built
- Lack of centralized documentation for audits and reviews
- Time-consuming manual exports or screenshots
- Struggles when migrating Flows between orgs
In short, maintaining Flow transparency and documentation becomes a major admin headache.

BOFC (Bulk Object Field Creator) — a trusted Salesforce AppExchange tool — just made life easier for admins with its “Export Flow Description” capability.
