Screen Flows are interactive forms that guide users through processes using standard components to collect information and complete tasks.

Core information
  • Omniscripts are positioned for consumer-quality guided processes targeting customers, partners, and external audiences.
More details and nuances
  • Omniscripts allow custom styling with CSS, whereas Screen Flows offer customization of screen styles and layouts.
