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.
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
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
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 🎇
