What it does

Lightning Flow Scanner performs static analysis of Salesforce Flow metadata using quality and security rules. It identifies issues including hardcoded IDs and URLs, unsafe execution contexts, inefficient SOQL or DML loops, recursion risks, missing fault paths, unused elements, and outdated API versions. Each rule explains the potential issue and suggests an improvement. Rule severity levels and exceptions can be configured for organization-specific standards.
