  Update Records Using ISO State and Country Codes Standardize and simplify updating address records with two new fields that store the ISO code for country or territory and state or province. Improve data quality and accuracy using this new support for ISO codes, and reduce the risk of errors and inconsistencies that can occur when using names. Previously, the Address component stored only the name associated with the user’s selection. With this new support for ISO codes, you can update the country or territory and state or province fields on records with ISO codes instead of names. This feature can be used for new or existing screen flows. Here are the steps to create a new flow. In Setup, on the State and Country/Territory Picklists page, ensure that Enable Picklists for Address Fields is enabled. In Flow Builder, create a screen flow. Add a Screen element to the flow. Include an Address component in the Screen element. Optionally, specify a default value in the Country Code and...

  Learn What’s New in Data Cloud Setup and Administration for Winter ’25 Do More with New Data Types in Data Cloud To enhance flexibility, you can now use the email, URL, phone, percent, and Boolean data types in Data Cloud. These data types expand data compatibility and interoperability with external systems that interface with Data Cloud. Data Type Description Email Stores email addresses.

  Make Invocable Actions Easier to Configure with New InvocableVariable Modifiers Simplify the configuration of invocable actions using new modifiers from Salesforce. Both the defaultValue and placeholderText modifiers will appear in Flow Builder for the Action elements that correspond to an invocable method. Here’s how to use them. defaultValue Modifier : Set a default value for an input parameter. When the action is used, the input parameter will have a predefined value unless changed by the user. placeholderText Modifier : Set custom placeholder text for an input parameter. Text can provide examples or additional guidance to help users understand what to enter in the input field. Accessing these modifiers in Flow Builder makes it easier to configure and use the actions within your flows. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Performance, Unlimited, Developer, Enterprise, and Database.com editions.
