I'm trying to use the Flow Trigger for both before/after update. Question is there any way to get compare the old vs new values in the record?

I review few articles but none of the suggestion works -Cannot use function: IsChanged -Tried getPriorValue.fieldName__c, but it show syntax error -Query the record might worked for before but not for update (haven't try it)

It seems to me unreasonable that trigger tool won't have such option....

I have encounter the same issue. It is counter productive to fire the flow on every update of a record.

I believe a suggestion was to query the record and compare it to the record initiating flow and use a decision element - however this would only work (if it does work) for before triggered flows.

    It is fine to fire the flow on every update, exactly as apex trigger, but in apex trigger we can check if newMap(fieldName) != oldMap(fieldName), and run the actual actions only if specific change was made. Seems it is not available yet in the Trigger Flow

  • Sorry, that is what I meant by my above comment. Have you tried querying the record and comparing?

    Haven't tried, I assume it will work but issue is that I don't have solution for after flow
