I got tired of manually comparing Flows between Sandbox & Production… so I’m building a Browser Extension to fix it
Spending hours manually comparing Flows between Sandbox and Production.
Even with deployment tools like Copado and Gearset, finding all the small (but dangerous) differences in elements, resources, decisions, loops, and variables was still painful and risky. I’ve seen deployment issues caused by missed Flow changes more times than I can count.
So instead of keep complaining about it… I decided to build a solution.
I’m currently developing the Salesforce Flow Comparator Browser Extension that will let you:
- Instantly compare any two orgs (Sandbox ↔ Production, Sandbox ↔ Sandbox, etc.)
- Get a clear side-by-side diff view of Flow metadata
- Highlight added, removed, or modified elements
- Save massive time during release validation
It’s still a Work in Progress (MVP is almost ready), but I’m genuinely excited about it.
I’d love your help and feedback:
- Would this tool solve a real pain for you?
- What features would make this a “must-have” tool for you? (e.g. support for other metadata types, exportable report, dark mode, VS Code integration, etc.)
- Any specific Flow comparison problems you face that I should solve?
If you’ve ever lost sleep before a big go-live because of Flow differences — drop a comment! 👇
Looking forward to your thoughts! 🔥
