Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for executing process flows. A request to initiate execution of a flow is processed, where the request is received from a first user. The flow includes a plurality of flow elements, where each of the flow elements represents a corresponding set of computer-readable instructions. Execution of the flow is initiated and an operation mode assigned to one of the flow elements is determined. A set of computer-readable instructions corresponding to the flow element is executed according to the operation mode such that an identity of the first user is recorded in association with an operation on a database record, wherein permissions allocated in a user profile to the first user do not provide the first user permission to cause the operation on the database record. Output indicating a result of executing the set of computer-readable instructions according to the operation mode is provided for presentation via a graphical user interface (GUI).

Abstract: A method in a cloud-based system for implementing behavioral changes to flow engine software that executes user-specific flows for a plurality of users with little or no disruption to the performance of the user-specific flows is provided. The method comprises: receiving a request to load and execute a user-specific flow; identifying an API version identifier for the user-specific flow; loading the user-specific flow; determining whether a software change to the flow engine software should be applied when executing the user-specific flow based on the API version identifier; and executing the user-specific flow using the flow engine software with the software change when it is determined, based on the API version identifier, that the software change to the flow engine software should be applied.
