— by

Harness the full potential of Salesforce Flow to manage record deletions with precision! Dive into the new technique to prevent accidental data loss without relying on complex Apex code. Here’s how you can integrate a Custom Error Element into your Salesforce Flow for enhanced control:

1. **Custom Error Element in Flow**
– A new feature that allows admins to present a customized error message.
– Utilizes the built-in logic of Salesforce Flow to halt operations.

2. **Preventing Record Deletions**
– Set up criteria within the flow to determine when a record should not be deleted.
– Use the Custom Error Element to provide feedback to the user attempting the deletion.

3. **Building the Flow**
– Start with a Record-Triggered Flow that initiates before a record is deleted.
– Configure decision elements to evaluate if the record meets the criteria for safe deletion.
– In case of a match, the Custom Error Element stops the deletion and informs the user.

4. **User Experience**
– Improves user experience by eliminating the need for error messages outside of their workflow.
– Provides contextual information, helping users understand why the deletion is blocked.

5. **Administrative Benefits**
– Empowers admins to enforce data integrity rules without writing code.
– Simplifies maintenance and updates, as the logic is contained within the familiar Flow interface.

Leverage this dynamic functionality to maintain clean and accurate data, ensuring Salesforce remains the robust and reliable platform users trust. Protect critical information seamlessly with the integration of a Custom Error Element in your Salesforce Flows.
