Definition
A Salesforce Industries (formerly Vlocity) component that creates dynamic, data-driven UI cards for displaying contextual information from multiple data sources on a single interface without code.
Real-World Example
Consider a scenario where an admin at Cascade Logistics is working with FlexCard to eliminate repetitive manual tasks that were consuming hours of the team's time each week. After building and activating FlexCard, routine processes now execute automatically, freeing up staff to focus on higher-value work. Error rates drop by 40% in the first month.
Why FlexCard Matters
A FlexCard is a Salesforce Industries (formerly Vlocity) component that creates dynamic, data-driven UI cards for displaying contextual information from multiple data sources on a single interface. FlexCards are configured declaratively, without code, and can pull data from Salesforce objects, external systems via integration procedures, and other sources, presenting the combined information in a card-based layout. They're widely used in industry-specific Salesforce solutions like Financial Services Cloud, Health Cloud, and Communications Cloud.
FlexCards are part of the OmniStudio toolkit (the renamed Vlocity platform), which includes OmniScripts (guided processes), DataRaptors (data transformation), and Integration Procedures (server-side orchestration). Together, these tools let industry-specific applications deliver rich, dynamic experiences faster than building from scratch with Lightning Web Components. For organizations using Salesforce Industries products, FlexCards are typically the default way to build contextual UI; for standard Salesforce deployments without Industries, the closest analog is Dynamic Forms plus custom LWCs.
How Organizations Use FlexCard
- •Redwood Financial — Built FlexCards on their Financial Services Cloud deployment showing customer financial summaries pulled from multiple data sources in one unified card.
- •Coastal Health — Uses FlexCards in Health Cloud to display patient context (recent visits, active medications, care team) from different objects in a single view.
- •NovaScale — Evaluated FlexCards versus custom Lightning Web Components for their industry-specific UI and chose FlexCards for the declarative speed and Industries integration.
