Copy code
public class FlowController {
@InvocableMethod
public static void processRecords(List<Id> recordIds) {
// Process logic

Example:
public class Parameters {
@InvocableVariable
public String param1;
}
@IsTest

Example:
@IsTest
private class TestMyClass {
@IsTest static void testMyMethod() {

}
Each of these annotations serves a specific purpose and helps define the behavior of your Apex code in different scenarios, particularly in the context of Salesforce's multi-tenant environment and its governor limits.
