By default, any active flows that are deployed to a production environment are deployed as inactive.
You can change this behavior in Salesforce. However, this is an all or nothing approach, so if selected, all flows would be deployed.
Activate flows on deployment with Gearset
Important to note: This feature is only available when:
- You're deploying using the Compare and deploy tool.
- The target is a Production org.
Active flows deployed to any other org will always be deployed as active.
Gearset gives you an option to activate flows on deployment of the package. Once a comparison has been run and the package has been generated, an option to activate flows will become available. The option is set to "off" by default.
Once the option is selected, Gearset will attempt to automatically activate all flows in the deployment package.
Once the deployment is completed, you can easily check to see the flows that have been activated on deployment. To do this go to the deployment summary page and check the deployed metadata types.
