Flows & Data Cloud - a winning solution
With Flow Builder and Data Cloud, you can better adapt to your existing business processes.
Does your business need to ingest many sources of data overnight before Identity Resolution (IR) needs to kick off?
An advanced Flow can wait for all of your data to come in, and then intelligently kick off your daily processes.

There's magic in making connections work
Flow Builder supports key Data Cloud functionality, including Identity Resolution, Calculated Insights, Data Streams, Segments & Activations.
Flow notifications can adapt to your use case, providing the right notifications at the right time.
Aligning your business process to Salesforce capabilities requires some time. A holistic, zoomed out view is required for success.
