I am sure this might be easy but I'm very new to flow and couldn't figure out how to achieve the below requirement and feeling trapped in a loop.

Requirement is:

When all of the necessary Subject records have been added to a Chronology, the user selects the ‘Find Events’ button which then fires a flow that finds all of the CONTACTS and Persons linked to the Chronology and then uses that list to find all relevant Events. For each Event, a corresponding Chronology Item record is created

Data Model:

Chronology Items: lookup: Chronology AND Event

Subjects: lookup: Chronology, contact and Persons

I tried to this way:

  1. Get records: Chronology with the record id
  2. Get records from the subject with matching same record id
  3. Get records: relevant events
  4. loop: on event
  5. create records for chronology items.

enter image description here

Maybe I'm failing to fetch the right records. any help would be appreciated. thank you

  • Do you have to create Chronology records under the related Contacts -> events? I dont understand the object relationship, how are chronology, subject, contacts related? May 20, 2021 at 17:50
  • Please edit to add detail to your question. What is your Flow currently doing? Can you add more specifics about what the expected outcome is? Are you receiving an error? Your description of the schema is also a bit hard to follow.

  • @anxiousAvocado data model mentioned. May 20, 2021 at 17:54
  • @guljarshaikh it's not easy to understand from what you have mentioned, add more details on how objects are related. It's tough to follow the data model. May 20, 2021 at 17:55
  • <aside> I know I've been reading too much Salesforce documentation, code, etc. when I read the OP's question and see the word "Subject", and the first thing I think is, "I should edit this - they misspelled SObject." </aside>

This is the flow you should use :

Get all contacts for Chronology -> Loop through each contact -> get all Events AND -> Store each event in a new List -> loop through the LIST OF EVENTS -> create a chronology item record.
