The Axsy Mobile for Salesforce app supports Salesforce Screen Flows.



In order to access Screen Flows in the app, users need to add the Flow Action to the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section of the page layout for an object.


Other Flow types (e.g. Auto-launched Flows) are designed to run on the Salesforce Platform and are not supported on the Axsy Retail Execution Mobile App. 



Object Permissions for Flows 


The data that is synced to the app as part of initial sync is limited by the user's object and record permissions configured on the Salesforce Platform. Subsequently, for a Screen Flow to run successfully offline, users need to have the necessary permissions to access the data, objects and records required by that flow. If the user has been given the sufficient permissions and the Sync Config UI has been configured to sync all required records for the flow, the Screen Flow will run as expected in Offline Mode for that specific user. 


Effectively, running a flow on Axsy is architecturally equivalent to running the flow in User Context Mode on Salesforce.

Limitations


The Axsy Mobile for Salesforce app has the same Flow limitations as the Salesforce Field Service Mobile App, outlined in this article: Considerations for Using Flows in the Field Service Mobile App. Additionally:


LimitationDetails 
Complex Conditions
  • Conditions like FUNCTION 1 && (FUNCTION 2 || FUNCTION 3)are not currently supported.  
    • Will be supported in a future release.
Operators
  • WasSet , WasSelected and WasVisitedoperators are not currently supported at this time.
    • Will be supported in a future release. 
Global Error Handling 
  • Not currently supported.
    • Will be supported in a future release.


Lightning Components 
  • Limited to:
    • FileUpload
    • Lookup 
Comparing Strings to Global Constant Boolean Values 
  • No support for comparing record field types Text or Picklist to global constant values {!GlobalConstant.True} or {!GlobalConstantFalse}
    • Instead, these record field types can be compared to the string values 'true' and 'false'. E.g. Boolean Retail Visit KPIs store their Target and Actual values in Text fields, so need to be compared against string values. 
Flow System Variables 
  • Limited to:
    • CurrentRecord
    • CurrentDateTime
    • CurrentDate
    • User
    • Organization
    • Flow
