Kanban in Screen Flows

How to put a Kanban in a Screen Flow

Salesforce now ships a Kanban Board for screen flows, in beta and read-only. The Avonni Kanban is the one your users can drag, and every drop hands the deal to the next screen.

On the board

Drop a card. The flow knows.

Four things your users do without leaving the flow, recorded in a real org.

Drag a card to Closed Won. The component saves the stage itself, Salesforce confirms with a toast, and both column totals recount.

Add a second grouping and every stage splits into lanes, here one per lead source. A lane folds away when you don't need it.

Type in the search box and the board keeps only the matching deals, each in its stage, with the totals recounted.

Give each card its own actions. Here, Log a call opens a screen flow in a dialog and saves a real call on the opportunity.

Side by side

Same records. Only one board moves.

The same 24 opportunities, the same six stages, the same totals and card fields, in the same flow. On the left, the Kanban Board Salesforce added in Spring '26. On the right, Avonni.

Same drag on both. Salesforce documents its board as read-only: users can't move cards between stages.

From Salesforce's own docs

What the standard Kanban Board leaves out

Based on Salesforce's Kanban Board Screen Input Component documentation, checked in September 2026. The lines below summarise what it states.

It's read-only. Users can't drag cards between stages at run time.

It's in beta, under Salesforce's Beta Services Terms.

Columns come from a picklist field only.

Each card shows up to five fields, plus a header and a footer field.

It reads a record collection, so the flow needs a Get Records element first.

Its documentation lists no output: nothing about a card comes back to the flow.

Sixteen lines, nothing hidden

Each line checked against Salesforce's documentation in September 2026. Where the standard board does the same, the line says so.

The Component Builder

Configure the board, don't code it

Pick the object and the stage field, choose what each card shows, and switch the look from Path to plain columns. The preview shows a sample of your records as you go, inside Flow Builder, and the interactions sit in the same panel.

1
Install the package.

Avonni Flow Screen Components, in production or in a sandbox. Start free opens both links.

2
Add the Kanban to a screen.

Point it at an object, pick the field that becomes the columns, choose what each card shows. The board runs its own query.

3
Use the drop.

A drop saves the new stage by itself. Read the dropped deal on the next screen, or add an interaction on drop: a toast, a flow in a dialog, the next screen.

Avonni's Salesforce Data Table component is a masterpiece and heads down the best component that they offer. The use cases it has on its own make the product worth buying.

Four ways to a board in a flow

1
Leave the flow.

Open the Kanban view of a list view. It works, but your user steps out of the guided process to reach it.

2
Use the standard Kanban Board.

In beta since Spring '26. Good for showing records by stage. Read-only: nobody moves a card.

3
Build a flow screen component.

A custom Lightning Web Component you write, test and deploy, then maintain release after release.

4
Drag in the Avonni Kanban.

Installed from AppExchange, configured in the builder, live in your flow. Users drag, and the flow gets the deal.
