Salesforce FLow : Delete records of different objects (I got an error when an object not found and the flow stops without deleting the others)

Question

I want to delete records of different objects, I have 4 object that i need to check if they exist and if it is the case i want to delete them. My problems is if for example the first object is not found I'll get an error and the flow is stopped. I found a workaround : connect the fault path to the next action(delete record) Is there a way to achieve that without the fault path.

Welcome to Salesforce Stack Exchange (SFSE)!

Since you do not show the details of your Delete Records steps, I am assuming that within each of those you are specifying the correct conditions as to which records to delete. Otherwise you will never have any records to delete.

The only way I can think of doing this without using the Fault paths, is to create Get Records elements that attempt to explicitly retrieve the records that you want to delete.

Then add a Decision element after that and prior to each Delete Records element.

• If records exist, go to the Delete Records element.
• If no records exist, go to the next Get Records element. (Or go a completely different route if there will be no downstream records to delete if there are no upstream records, or if there is just another route you wish to take.)

Or, using Auto-Layout:

(For demonstration purposes I created a record variable called "CB_Susbcription_Record_Collection". You could create one, or just use the default internal Flow record collection variable associated to the Get Records element you use to retrieve the CB Subscription records.)
