Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you what might be one of my favorite new actions: The Mass Transactor Action! We at CapTech Consulting looked for the most impactful action for both our clients and the community, and decided it would be extremely powerful to enable Flow to run Creations, Updates, and Deletes of records […]
Update on 9/2/20: RecalculateFormulas – New Action Coming Soon The original recalculate formulas action posted last week actually required a text collection of field names. I went ahead and created a new action that is a bit simpler to use – this new action now just takes an input collection and outputs a collection with […]

Check it out I call out the Collections Processor package here on UnofficialSF One neat little combo would be utilizing some of the invoked actions found on UnofficialSF.com. You could use the […]
