Before Save / Fast Field Update Flow Salesforce

Hello friends, today we are going to discuss Before Save / Fast Field Update Flow Salesforce. Update fields on the record that triggers the flow to run. This update runs before the record is saved to the database. We can’t perform related object actions in this Flow.

Key Highlights :

1. can be triggered when the record is created, created or updated, updated, or deleted
2. Update the same object record just assign new values.
3. Before-save flow runs much faster (10 times) than the after-save flow.
4. We can’t call Subflow from Before Flow.
5. populating one field from the contents of another, such as determining the state from data in a zip code field.
6. not possible to add a scheduled path to take time-based actions.

Process :

Step 1: Navigate to Setup > Flows > click New Flow. Create a Record-triggered flow. Select Record-triggered Flow and then click Next.

Step 2: Here we will setup up object and Entry Conditions. Also Select Fast Field Update on Bottom.
