Flow: Custom Error Element

AUTOMATION AND FLOWS

2/21/20251 min read

In the Winter '24 Salesforce release, the ability to create custom errors via Flow is introduced! I've never loved validation rules and quite frankly, I suck at creating them. With this new feature, I don't have to worry about validation rules... ever again!

In this video, I've created a flow on the Account object, which restricts users from changing the value of a custom field. If/when they change and click Save on the record, the custom error is presented and the change is not saved.
