What Does This Post Cover?
- How to use the Decision Element in Salesforce Flows
Use Case?
- When you need to filter out what updates need to occur on an object, use the decision element to route the flow properly
In this example:
We will be taking a look at the following made-up business requirement: Business Requirement: VP of sales would like the lead description to be updated with the appropriate notes depending on the value of the “behavior ratings” field that is found on the lead object.
Since we have a video on this showing you step by step, this blog post will be primarily used to view the values we used in the video as a reference to rebuild.
