FlowRunner vs Cirrus Insight
Both connect Salesforce to your inbox. The difference? We run your logic. They sync your data.
The Key Difference
Cirrus Insight syncs data between your email and Salesforce. FlowRunner runs your actual Salesforce Screen Flows — your business processes, validation rules, and custom logic — directly inside Outlook and Gmail. No duplicate configuration. No separate data model.
