Hi Eduardo,

Nice work CodEngine.in, but my action (an action of Action Type: Flow, a screen to create a new record) is not showing on the "Avaiable Quick Actions". Must be this type of action unsupported?
Naveen KNNaveen KN
Yes, I think it has limitations for certain type of actions for the list views.

Here's a way to put a Flow button on your list views:
  1. Create your flow (Screen flow recommended so your user can control how it behaves, but it could be an autolaunched flow also)
  2. Get the URL for your flow:
    • Setup Home > Flows > (dropdown menu at the end of your flow entry)> View Details and Versions > (copy URL value)
  3. On the object (where you want it to appear on list views of that object), create a button:
    • Buttons, Links & Actions > New Button or Link > 
    • Enter a label (should be similar to the flow name for consistency)
    • Don't forget to put a description so someone in the future can understand what's going on!
    • List Button
    • Content Source = URL
    • Paste URL from step 2 above into the big white box
    • Save
  4. Object menu > Search Layouts for Salesforce Classic
  5. List View > (dropdown menu at end) > Edit
  6. In Custom Buttons area, select your new button from the Available Buttons area > Add > Save
  7. App Launcher (nine dots) > select your favourite app > (your object) > check the list views for your new button (you may need to refresh the whole browser page)

@Charles, thanks for your suggestion, but from what I experience: when you launch a screen flow from a custom button via URL - the flow opens up in 'full screen' (rather than 'in a window' the way it does when called from a quick action). And it also loops infinitely - it won't exit the flow when done, but instead start over.

@nick were you ever able to solve this? I have the same issue where I would prefer a flow opens in a window via the action method from list view, however my action is not available to be selected in the List view button layout section.

Maybe this post is old, but following this tut: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_quick_start_massupdate.htm?q=getSelected

My issue was i looked for this button in Search Layouts, but the button is in Object Manager > [SObject] > List View Button Layout
