Learn how to start a flow dialog without any distracting on-screen elements. This technique uses the Avonni Delay Interaction component making the process smoother and more natural.
Improved User Experience: Invisible flow triggers eliminate visual clutter and let users focus on their primary tasks.
Flexibility: Flows can begin automatically based on user actions or run after a chosen delay. This allows for tailored automation.
Background Processes: Perfect for starting tasks that don't need immediate user attention, such as data updates or notifications.
Welcome sequences: Onboard new users with a flow that begins subtly after they land on a specific page.
Contextual Help: Launch a tutorial or help flow when a user hovers over a certain area for several seconds.
Progressive Data Collection: Gather information in stages with flows that trigger based on user behavior
Create a new flow
Select screen flow
Enter a screen API Name
Remove Header and Footer section
NOTE: You can follow from step 2 if you already have a screen flow created
Drag the Avonni Delay Interaction component to your desired screen element.
Open the Component Builder to configure settings.
Set the specific delay time in milliseconds before the interaction occurs.
Open the Interaction Panel to specify an interaction.
Choose 'Open Flow Dialog' as the interaction.
Set up the specific flow to be opened, input any required variables, and adjust the settings as needed.
Once you've saved and activated your flow, integrate the flow containing the newly added Delay Interaction component into your page. After this, you can conduct a live test within Salesforce to see it in action.
