This technical session offers a comprehensive, expert-led comparison of two of Salesforce’s most powerful process automation tools—OmniScript, a key component of the OmniStudio suite (originally Vlocity), and Salesforce Flow, which has matured into a versatile platform-native solution capable of handling everything from screen interactions to complex orchestrations and API integrations.
We’ll explore:

- Strengths and limitations in use cases such as:
- Guided user interactions
- API-based integrations
- Multi-step business processes

- Real-world guidance on when to choose OmniScript vs. Flow, with practical examples
- A decision framework for architects and developers during implementation planning
Whether you’re working on B2C industries, Comms/Media projects, OmniStudio-heavy solutions, or standard Force.com platform builds, this session will give you a clear, practical roadmap to make the right tool choices – based on performance, complexity, and maintainability.
This is not just a comparison – it’s a strategic guide to designing smarter, faster, and more scalable solutions on the Salesforce platform.
