Common Issues in Salesforce Flow and How to Address Them

Make sure to check if the variable depends on values computed or fetched in previous steps of the Flow. If these dependencies are not met, it could lead to errors when using the variable.

For example – you calculate the total purchase amount or assess eligibility based on specific criteria. You might have a decision element that determines the following action based on the calculated total amount. If, for some reason, the calculation step fails or is skipped, the variable may not be assigned a value. Consequently, when the Flow reaches the step that depends on this variable, it might encounter an error or produce undesired results due to the missing or incorrect value.
