Salesforce Fact #929 | Nth highest in screen flow

Image
We can find the Nth highest value in screen flow using Get Records with a bit of logic. For example, we want to find the Nth highest NumberOfEmployees value across all the accounts. The idea is to fetch the records and then run a check to iterate over the records as long as the temp variable value is less than N value. The temp variable is initialized to 1. In the assignment we would keep on removing the first record. At the end, we will pick the first record from the collection. Attached are the screenshots. Note: this is just a POC flow and the error handlings, best practices are not covered.

Salesforce Fact #928 | Default minimum enqueue delay

Do you know there is an org-wide setting to specify the default minimum delay for the enqueue jobs which do not have a delay parameter. From Setup -> Apex settings, we can go to the setting and put a value between 1 and 600 seconds i.e. 10 minutes maximum. This is not applicable to jobs enqueued using System.enqueue(queueable, delay) method.

Salesforce Fact #924 | Updating multi select lookup using screen action

Image
Suppose we have a datatable and multiselect lookup in screen flow. Now, whatever records are selected in the datatable should get selected in the lookup component. For this, we can make use of screen action. We can create a subflow which would take the list of selected records and extract the ids using a transform element and return those to the main flow. The returned ids can be selected as the input of the lookup. This would work instantly. In this example, we have an account lookup which is updated with the selected records of the datatable. Attached are the screenshots.

Salesforce Fact #923 | Find out matching leads/contacts using screen action

Image
Another use case using Screen flow action(Beta). We can have a screen flow to take email Id as input and find out what all existing contacts and leads are present with the same email. For this, we create a subflow to fetch the contacts and leads based on the input email passed. Also, to avoid unnecessary fetching of records, we can add validation to ensure the get records are performed only when the email is of valid email format. And in the main flow, we can refer the subflow in screen action and show the matching contacts or leads instantly. Attached are the screenshots.
