hi admin .
ReplyDeletei am newbie to Flows.
i have a business scenario that how to close all Verified cases automatically at the end of every day ?
my case object has 5 status : new,working,verified,Differed,closed.
when after my case is verified on that day evening that verified status should change into Closed Status and this process should happen every day.
how to solve this ?
Hi You can use Scheduled Flows. Run a flow daily and get all the cases where verified = true and change their status to closed. Example : https://accidentalcoder.blogspot.com/2020/06/schedule-flows-salesforce.html
DeleteIf there only was a way to gracefully handle autolaunched flow errors/exceptions. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteThere is a feature called a fault path that works perfectly well. You can write to a log object if you'd like.
