Process Builder & Workflow Rule to Flow migration checklist
- Inventory every active Workflow Rule and Process Builder per object (use the free tool on the home page).
- Check pending time-based actions: they stay queued on the old automation. Let them flush or recreate them as scheduled paths before deactivating.
- Consolidate per object: one before-save Flow for same-record field updates, one after-save Flow for related records and actions. Don't convert one-for-one.
- Map order of execution, especially where Apex triggers run on the same object.
- Build in a sandbox, with explicit entry conditions so Flows don't fire on every save.
- Test against real scenarios: create, update, bulk (200 records), and the re-evaluation cases your Workflow field updates relied on.
- Deploy, then deactivate the old automation in the same window. Keep it for rollback.
- Document what each new Flow replaced.
Salesforce's Migrate to Flow tool is a starting point for simple rules; review its output and consolidate.
