Big Idea or Enduring Question:

• How do you find who Created or Last Modified a Flow or Process Builder? 

Objectives:

After reading this blog, you’ll be able to: 

• Understand how to find who created or Last Modified a Flow or Process Builder? 
• How to use Workbench to find Flow related metadata 

Business Use case

Cathal Murtagh is working as a System administrator at Universal Containers (UC). A few months ago, she has created a process Getting Started with Process Builder – Part 30 (Auto-generate renewal Opportunity with Line Items) to auto-create the renewal opportunity. It seems like; someone created a new version, which is now not working. She wants to identify the person’s name who last modified the process. 

Automation Champion Approach (I-do):

In the past, I have shared a couple of use cases where we can use Flow or Process Builder to solve the complex business use cases instead of writing Apex code. Currently, Flow or Process Builder only displays the Last Modified Date on the Flow/Process Management page.

To solve the above business requirement, we will use Workbench.

Let’s take a minute’s pause here and understand Flow and FlowDefinition objects in Salesforce. This object represents an invitation to join Chatter, either directly or through a group.

The following screenshot represents Flow and FlowDefinitions. 

Workbench is a powerful, web-based suite of tools designed for administrators and developers to interact with Salesforce.com organizations via the Force.com APIs (Words from Salesforce documentation). It also provides support for Bulk API, Rest API, Streaming API, Metadata API, and Apex APIs that allows users to describe the things, Query on the objects, Manipulate the data in Salesforce organizations directly in their web browser with a simple user interface. 

Guided Practice (We-do):

There are 8 steps to solve Pamela’s business requirement using Workbench. We must:

1. Log in to Workbench by navigating to https://workbench.developerforce.com/login.php.
2. Input the following information: 
   1. Environment, select Production
   2. For API Version, select 50.0 or the highest number.
   3. Select the checkbox I agree to the terms of service.
3. Click Login with Salesforce.
4. If you’re using it for the first time, then allow Workbench to access your information, click Allow. Once you log in, you will see a page from where you can select different options as per your requirement. 
5. Select Info | Metadata Types & Components
6. The next step is to select the Metadata Types i.e. FlowDefinition in this case, as shown in the following screenshot:
7. Click Components | Out_of_officeeeee
8. It will display CraetedByName, CraetedDate, LastModifiedByName, LastModifiedDate, FullName, Id etc.

If you want to check the details(CraetedByName, CraetedDate, LastModifiedByName, LastModifiedDate, FullName, Id, etc.) for each version of a Flow, then select the Metadata Types i.e. Flow (In step 6).
