Salesforce Fact #405 | Invocable utility method for getting custom metadata

Continuing with the last use case, we can create an utility function which will get the metadata values using built-in functions and it won't get counted towards Governor limit.

The function will take the API name of the custom metadata and would return the corresponding metadata records. Every time a new custom metadata gets created, we can create an entry in this function. The function is invocable from flow.

Attached is the screenshot.

We need to define a child sobject variable and then in the advanced section, set the parent field Id with the record Id of the selected record in Lookup. In this example, we have a lookup of Account record and we are using a Contact record variable and setting the AccountId field with the selected record Id and later on accessing the field values from account. Attached are the screenshots.
