Salesforce Fact #127 | Get deleted records in flow

Suppose we have a requirement to access deleted records in flow. No worries. We have an object called Recycle Bin Item in flow which stores the deleted records.

In this example, I am fetching the deleted contact records in flow.

Attached are the screenshots.

    I took this one step further and displayed the list of records in a table. My intention was then to allow the user to be able to undelete selected records. Unfortunately you cannot change the IsDeleted flag on the record or delete the record from the recycle bin with a flow. Flow does not provide an undelete action either. My next challenge is to write an invocable apex action that will be called from the flow to do this. I'm struggling with this part so have reached out to my Apex guru for help.

Salesforce Fact #457 | Get current user role name in flow

In apex, in order to get the current user role name we need to query the UserRole object. We cannot get it directly using UserInfo object since it has only one method related to role i.e  getUserRoleId(). Using this Id returned we can get the data from UserRole object. But that is not that complex in flow. In case of flow, we can directly get the current user role name using the syntax: {!$UserRole.Name}. Attached are the screenshots.
