Avonni vs Salesforce Flow Data Table

Both components display records in a table inside Screen Flows. The difference is in how far you can take it — editing, visualization, filtering, and interactions. Here's a complete feature-by-feature breakdown.

The honest picture
Standard Flow Data Table

Spring '26 brought inline editing for text fields, column sorting, and a global search bar. A real step forward, and for basic pick-a-record scenarios, it does the job.

Avonni Data Table

Inline editing for every field type including dates, picklists, and lookups. Field-level filtering, 25+ column display types, row actions, and CSV export. No waiting on the next release.

Both are real tables. The difference is what your users can do next.

We considered building our own components, but Avonni's value proposition was unbeatable.
