Admins and Developers alike use Flow to codify business rules. These rules are a valuable asset not easily replicated in other environments.
If flows are like highways, we try to build more on-ramps before building more highways. Here’s how to stream CSV rows directly into Flow.
Video example: CSV import to Flow Service
- The CSV file is captured in it’s entirety
- Faults caused by flow are stored for later review and retry
- The import operation is decoupled from the actual processing
- Imported events can be correlated after the fact using the Bulk API Job ID


Flow Service
public class FlowService extends Service
{
public class Definition
{
String Tag = 'Services';
String Icon = 'flow';
String Label = 'Flow';
Integer Chunks = 1;
String Cardinality = 'One';
String Description = 'Runs a flow as Automated Process user.';
Map<String,String> StepConfig = new Map<String,String>{
'flow' => 'String API Name of the flow'
};
}
List<Map<String,Object>> execute(Map<String,Object> event)
{
String flowName = (String)event.get('flow');
Flow.Interview.createInterview(flowName, event).start();
return new List<Map<String,Object>>{event};
}
//...
}
