Play by Play: Breaking Salesforce Flows for Better Design

In this course, discover common errors resulting from Process Builders and Flows. You'll join a discussion of the limits of these tools and benefit from design standards that will improve your own approach to declarative automation in the future.

Play by Play is a series in which top technologists work through a problem in real time, unrehearsed, and unscripted. In this course, Play by Play: Breaking Salesforce Flows for Better Design, Jorgan Strathman and Don Robins discuss how to make Processes and Flows more robust by adopting a developer’s “clean code” approach. Along the way, you'll see a deliberate break in a Process, showing how to debug common automation errors and expose declarative vulnerabilities. Then, given a set of business requirements, you'll explore a workshop and develop a new automation solution using these tools. Finally, you'll learn how a test-driven approach to declarative automation can prevent common runtime issues. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of how to debug, troubleshoot, and apply better design to your own Processes and Flows.
