Salesforce Fact #999 | User permission check using LWC exposed as flow local action

With the Winter'26 release, we can now create flow local actions using LWCs.

One use of this feature is checking user/custom permission of the current user. Suppose we have created a screen flow and in between the process we need to check whether the current user has the permission to Activate Contracts and then route to the appropriate path. This can be easily figured out using the userPermission module in LWC and the same LWC can be utilized as a local flow action instead of using any complex apex code logic.

Attached are the screenshots.

Salesforce Fact #929 | Nth highest in screen flow

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.

If we only select the default, then it will always run the active assignment rules and we won't see the checkbox in the UI. 2. If we select both default and show on edit page, then the checkbox will appear in the UI and it will be selected by default. But we can uncheck if we want. 3. If we select only show on edit page, then the checkbox will appear in the UI and it will be deselected by default. But we can check if we want. 4. If we select none of the checkbox, then the checkbox won't be visible in the UI and none of assignment rule will run. ...
