I got a flow on the Contact object that runs whenever a record is created/updated. However, I can't seem to get the flow to trigger whenever Contact.Account.RecordType changes. Seeing as the account itself is the one being changed, I understand that the flow itself won't run because no "change" was made to the contact object. However, I got a condition (see below) to listen for changes on the Account Record type:

contact image account record change

The flow does not when when I go to Contact.Account and manually update the record type. can I make the child flow run when the parent field changes?

  • See my answer, what is your goal here? Probably it can be achieved differently than you are thinking about it.

  • Isn't it pretty clear what I wish to achieve? I need the contact flow to react to changes in the record type on the parent object (account in this case)

No. The flow gets triggered only when the record is updated/inserted/deleted, and only after that there is the checking of the conditions you've specified. So any update to the parent account won't trigger directly the record triggered flow on contact.

No it won't. Whatever you want to achieve in contact flow on account's record type need to be done in account flow/trigger.

Based on your flow and condition added just assuming, if you have a scenario like if account's record type is changed and some changes has happened with contact as well in the same transaction then you want to perform some operation, then I would suggest get all account's Id from account trigger in a set variable and passed it to future/Queueable and perform the operation that you wanted to do in contact flow.
