Flow Navigation

In plain words: By default, Salesforce Screen Flows use standard "Next," "Previous," and "Finish" buttons at the bottom of the screen. While functional, they limit your ability to trigger custom validations, call external APIs before navigating, or apply custom branding. By building a custom Lightning Web Component (LWC) footer, you can take total control over how and when users move through your Flow. Screen Flows are an incredible tool for guiding users through complex data entry processes. However, the out-of-the-box footer buttons are rigid. If you want to customize their labels dynamically, trigger custom Apex logic when a user clicks "Next," or align the styling with your company's brand, you need to step outside the standard declarative tools. In this guide, we will walk through how to build a custom LWC to replace standard Screen Flow footer buttons, allowing for ultimate flexibility.
