Automate your custom workflow by automatic executing a flow when a record is created or updated

This article will guide you through the steps on how to use a feature that allows you to run a flow after a record creation/update. This feature is especially useful when you have a custom workflow to automate.

One common scenario is when you have a related object to the contact object and you want to prefill the values after a contact is created. We'll use this as an example to demonstrate how to write this object after a contact is created.

Requirements

Example of the Custom object related to the Contact Object

Sample flow

Flow with your custom workflow. In this case, we will define the code value and create a new record associated with a contact.

⚠️Flow needs to have a variable of the type string/text with the name recordId

PipeLaunch supports both Autolaunched Flow and Screen Flows. Use an Autolaunched Flow if you don't need any user interaction

Setup

Go to PipeLaunch Settings > Chrome Extension
Select your object (in this case we will use the Contact object)
Add a New Flow

Make sure that you type the exact Flow Api name

Enable the Automatic Execution and check the action On Save
Click Save

How to use

Open LinkedIn and add a new Contact

Click Save
After the record is created, the flow is automatically loaded

Define the flow values

The flow is closed after the execution and a new record is created 🎇

Troubleshooting

This feature can get stuck on an infinite loading screen in several ways, all related to Salesforce being unable to establish a connection to our servers from your local machine:

because of your browser cookies preferences and local software setup
because of your Salesforce CORS and trusted websites preferences
because of your local IP or regional network restriction

Browser preferences and local software

Top advice: Go to chrome://settings/cookies and make sure that the option "Block third-party cookies" is turned off
Make sure to confirm that both chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies and chrome://flags/#cookies-without-same-site-must-be-secure are disabled
Any ad blocker must be turned off (especially free ones AdBlock, uBlock, Privacy Badger)
Please keep in mind that corporate antivirus/security software intercepting and blocking data might potentially have a false alarm for .salesforce.com JS files which are required to be downloaded (temporarily) to use the feature

CORS

CORS issue can be easily discarded by visiting Setup -> Security -> CORS in Salesforce

Having installed PipeLaunch Salesforce package, you already automatically setup everything. You should see these allowed domains:

https://api-ce.pipelaunch.com
https://api.pipelaunch.com
https://plce.pipelaunch.com

Local IP or regional network restrictions

if you use a corporate laptop or Chrome browser account controlled by your organization, BlockExternalExtensions policy must be off and there should be no domain restrictions for PipeLaunch (see the list of approved domains above);
if you are working in a corporate workplace or under a corporate VPN, it is highly advised to consult someone from your organization about IP, regional restrictions and corporate firewall. Our servers run on AWS eu-central-1 (Germany, Frankfurt)

If none of the above proved to be useful, feel free to reach out to us via help@pipelaunch.com. However, it is crucially important for you to attach a screenshot of your browser console (F12 or right mouse click -> inspect )
