A hackathon for people who build in Flow
One real Salesforce automation problem, seven days, and 320+ builders from more than ten countries competing to solve it best. The challenge isn't running at the moment — but it will run again, and this is where you find out first.
How the challenge worked
A single well-scoped problem, judged on how you solved it — not on how many hours you could put in.
One real problem
Every participant got the same genuine Salesforce automation problem to solve using Flow — the kind of thing an admin meets in a live org, not a puzzle invented for a contest.
Seven days to build
A week to design, build and submit your flow. Long enough to think it through properly, short enough to stay a sprint rather than a second job.
Judged on the build
Submissions were reviewed on how cleanly and completely they solved the problem. The top three took CloudFiles trophies, swag and recognition across the community.
Open to everyone
No restrictions on location, age, gender or job title. Admins, developers, consultants and people learning Flow on the side all entered on the same terms.
320+ builders, 10+ countries
The last edition drew more than 320 participants from over ten countries — a genuinely global field competing for the top three spots.
Built to teach
The point was never the prize. Participants came out with a Flow pattern they hadn't built before and a solution they could take back to their own org.

Frequently asked questions
No. The last edition has finished and entries are closed. We do intend to run it again, and the interest form on this page is how we let people know when the next edition opens.
You go on the waiting list. When the next challenge is scheduled you'll get one email with the dates and how to enter. We don't use the list for anything else.
Anyone. The last edition had no restrictions on location, age, gender or current role — admins, developers, consultants and people still learning Flow all entered on equal terms.
No. The challenge is a Salesforce Flow build, open to the wider Salesforce community. Being a customer has never been a requirement to enter or to win.
The top three received CloudFiles trophies, exclusive swag and recognition across our channels. Prizes for a future edition will be confirmed when it's announced.
The last edition ran over seven days, with one problem to solve. Most participants spent a few focused hours across the week rather than working on it full time.
