STATUS: ACTIVE

Tuple represents a key-value pair. Kinda. Don't come at me math nerds. You may be asking why this exists, given the existence of Map. Unfortuately Map isn't available everywhere. Notably, it's not available in Apex-defined Data Types used by Flow/Invocable actions. Additionally, Object is not a valid data type in Apex-defined Data Types, so we can't use a list of objects that have a string key, and Object value. This is the next best thing. A kind of polyfill for Map<String,Object> for use in Apex-defined Data Types. See also: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_considerations_apex_data_type.htm&type=5 Available primitive datatypes available for use in tuple: Boolean, Integer, Long, Decimal, Double, Date, DateTime, and String. Single values and lists are supported for each data type.
