    • Getting Started with Salesforce Flow – Part 57 (Adding Validation to Flow Screen Components)

      Posted at 9:40 PM by Rakesh Gupta, on February 1, 2021

      Big Idea or Enduring Question:

      How do you validate user input for Screen Flow Components? 

      Input Validation in Salesforce Flow allows a system administrator to define custom logic and error messages to ensure data integrity. A Validation can contain a formula or expression that evaluates the data in one or more fields and returns a value of True or False. Validation also includes an error message that displays when the rule returns a value of True – indicating that inaccurate data is being entered. 

      In the past, I have written a few articles on Validation Rules and Salesforce Flow. Why not check them out while you are at it?!
