In Flow Builder, variables can be created to store a variety of data types. Common supported data types include:
A. Multi-Select Picklist: Supported for storing multiple selected values in a picklist format.
B. Text: One of the most frequently used data types for storing string values.
D. Record: Used to store an entire Salesforce record, either standard or custom object.
Unsupported Types:
C. BLOB: Binary Large Object is not a supported data type in Salesforce Flow.
E. CLOB: Character Large Object is not supported either; this is typically a database concept outside Salesforce.
Reference Extracts from Salesforce Help Documentation on Flow Variables:
“Flow variables can store standard data types like Text, Number, Boolean, Date, Multi-Select Picklists, and Records.”
“Variables in Flow cannot store binary or CLOB data.”
