Make Invocable Actions Easier to Configure with New InvocableVariable Modifiers Simplify the configuration of invocable actions using new modifiers from Salesforce. Both the defaultValue and placeholderText modifiers will appear in Flow Builder for the Action elements that correspond to an invocable method. Here’s how to use them. defaultValue Modifier : Set a default value for an input parameter.
