Access Record Prior Values in Salesforce Flow with Record__Prior
Effortless Access to Historical Data
Salesforce has enhanced its Flow capabilities, providing developers and administrators with the power to access the prior values of a record during a record-triggered flow. The Record__Prior global variable holds this valuable information, unlocking new possibilities for automation and data manipulation.
Unleashing the Potential
The Record__Prior feature introduces a paradigm shift in Flow development. Previously, accessing prior values required complex custom code or cumbersome workarounds. Now, with the Record__Prior variable, it's as simple as accessing any other field in a flow.
Broad Applications
The applications of Record__Prior are endless. Here are a few examples:
- Triggering notifications when a record's status changes
- Comparing previous and current values to identify changes
- Populating fields with prior values to maintain historical data
Tips for Usage
To use the Record__Prior variable, simply insert it into the formula or expression of your flow elements. Keep in mind that it's only available in record-triggered flows and is not compatible with all functions and operations.
