Dev: Flow Download Button

Published on February 10, 2026 DRTE

## Available Screen Components

The extension introduces four specific Lightning Web Components that can be added to any Flow screen:

• Download Docx Button: For generating Microsoft Word documents.
• Download PDF Button: For generating PDF files.
• Download PPTx Button: For generating PowerPoint presentations.
• Download Xlsx Button: For generating Excel spreadsheets.

## Implementation Workflow

The implementation process follows a specific sequence of logic and screen elements within the Flow Builder:

1. Data Retrieval

• Get Object Api Name: The process begins by using a DRTE Extension Managed Action (Apex Action) to identify the relevant Object API name.
• Get Doc Templates: A "Get Records" element is used to retrieve the necessary document templates.

2. User Selection

• Show Data Table: A screen element ("Screen1") presents a Data Table to the user, allowing them to select the desired template for their document.

3. Document Generation

• Generate HTML: An Apex Action takes the selected template and data to generate the HTML content required for the document.

4. Final Download

• Download Screen: The final screen ("Screen2") utilizes the generated HTML to enable the download buttons.
• User Interaction: The screen displays a message confirming the document has been generated and prompts the user to click the download button to begin the process.

## Developer Note

The extension is designed to handle "larger files," noting that the download process may take a few moments to complete once the user initiates it from the screen.
