Streamline Flow Integrations with External Services Support for Any Type
An external service can now be created from an OpenAPI schema that uses an empty schema object (any shape), so calling it from a Flow needs no Apex class and no Transform element: Flow serializes the record variable to JSON and sends it straight to the endpoint, and flows keep working when the data schema changes. You can mix typed query/path/header parameters with an any-type body. Requires Data 360 provisioned and API version 68.0 or later; the external API must handle its own validation.
