Additional Details
Lightning Flow Scanner is a Salesforce app for static analysis and optimization of Flows. It scans metadata for more than twenty quality and security issues to help teams maintain reliability and consistency in automation. The scanner detects problems such as hardcoded IDs, unsafe execution contexts, inefficient SOQL or DML operations, recursion risks, and missing fault handling, giving admins and developers practical insights to improve Flow performance. Built for Salesforce professionals who focus on precision and maintainability, Lightning Flow Scanner evaluates Flow structures against a set of best-practice rules. Each rule identifies potential issues, explains their cause, and suggests improvements. The tool helps avoid common automation errors such as exceeding Apex limits or poor naming conventions. Its modular configuration allows teams to adjust severity levels, define exceptions, and align checks with internal standards. Since 2021, Lightning Flow Scanner has supported Flow quality across open-source tools and now brings the same core engine into Salesforce. Running analysis directly in your org helps detect issues early and makes Flow quality easier for everyone.
