If the processing field is checked, then the flow will end with the blank flow screen. Lastly, it will take the user to the blank flow screen. Then, we will check the processing field on the opportunity record. If the opportunity record is not yet processed, it will automatically create a task, show a success message that it was created and take the user to the newly created task record. This flow will lookup the processing field and name of the opportunity record. In Lightning Experience, it is found under Process Automation | Flows. Do not add this new field to the page layout as this is a behind-the-scenes processing field but give edit access to this field to any users who will execute this flow.īest practice tip: Provide a description so you and other/future admins know what this custom checkbox field is used for.Ģ. Go to Setup | Object Manager | Contact | Fields & Relationships, create a new field. We need to create a custom checkbox fieldon the Opportunity object that is used as a processing field for our flow.

Learn how to use component visibility to determine when to show components on a lightning record page.Learn how to add flow a Lightning record page.Here are a few lessons learned from implementing this use case: This post was inspired by a flow question posed by Stacey Cogswell in our Twitter DM group.

I used his idea in my most recent flow solution. He has a very unique flow implementation where he had a blank flow screen that ran a hidden flow upon record page load. I saw his flow presentation at MidWest Dreamin’ 2018. I want to give a shout out to Sam Friedewald.

Have you ever wanted to use flow but your use case doesn’t call for any user interaction, you don’t want your flow to execute on a button or quick action click? Do you have a situation you are automating but can’t use process builder because you want to redirect the user to another record at the end of your flow? You’re in luck, you can use a screen flow with a blank screen to run the hidden flow. Note: This flow solution runs only in Lightning Experience.
