This year, I started refactoring old Flows using Subflows—and honestly, I should’ve done it sooner.
Breaking complex automation into modular chunks has made everything easier to manage. I now build utility Flows that:
Convert date formats
Assign ownership based on record data
Send templated emails based on input variables
When I need the logic again, I just drop in the subflow. It makes everything cleaner and easier to test. Bonus: I can update the logic in one place instead of five.
If your Flow canvas is getting messy, that’s usually a sign it’s time to modularize. Subflows are the answer.
