Expose Apex logic to Salesforce Flow as an invocable method with typed input and output collections

Verified steps

  1. Annotate a global or public static Apex method with @InvocableMethod(label='...' description='...' category='...')
  2. Define an inner class annotated with nothing (plain Apex class) to serve as the request type, with each field annotated @InvocableVariable(label='...' required=true/false)
  3. Define a corresponding response inner class with @InvocableVariable-annotated output fields that the flow will read after execution
  4. Declare the method signature as List<ResponseClass> methodName(List<RequestClass> requests) — Flow always passes a list to support bulk invocation
  5. Process all items in the input list in a single method call, using bulkified SOQL and DML as needed, and return a list of responses in the same order as inputs
  6. In Flow Builder, add an Action element, search for the invocable method by its label, map flow variables to input fields, and map output fields back to flow variables
