Hi Alex, Loop Variables are a serious pain in the butt. Could you possibly consider a video dedicated to this. Whatever I try, I don't seem to be able to add my newly create loop vars to the loop. I've watched several video's and read several threads on this but nothing specifically explains why new vars will NOT be selectable. I would very much appreciate more attention to this in particular. Thank you!!
As it has been mentioned in the video that we should not be hardcoding the IDs as a practice... however, can you also demonstrate the best practice in an implementation using flows?
add the collection variable in get records to store the data, and in update records component, assign that collection variable to the desired field of the target object.
if you are going to use hardcoded id's you need to let the user know the best practice is to create a variable to hold the id. thanks for the tutorials!
Awesome! One question 🙋 please Would it be possible to create a kind of email that when the recipient gets, he could actually update his record? Let's say by adding information, like "ways that I like to be contacted" and a selection of some options. Could the recipient do this somehow?
Looks like we don't need to create a second collection variable (bucket of emails) because we're using an action rather than inserting, updating or deleting a bunch of records in the database.
Can the fields of a collection variable be determined inside the flow,- rather than dictated in a "get"? I'd like to fill a collection variable, then create records, but don't see how to instantiate the fields of the variable.
while you are in get records menu, store them in collection variables and when you're in update menu, assign those collection variable's value to target object's fields....

Thanks! This was great!

What is hardcoded ids? 🤔
@@jaimelon ones that you copy paste from your URL section while you're logged in...:)
@Ellie Breden in the get records setting pop-up and in there find criteria field, that's where you enter the matching ID.

Consider a community for such use case.
Alex, how did you change the logo in the top left corner from salesforce blue cloud to "Bright"?
Hey DC, you can do this by going into Setup and searching "Themes and Branding". It's under Platform Tools > User Interface. Hope this helps!
What Sunita said......I am very much needing instruction on how to dynamically set record ids, not hardcoding them. Do you do a video explaining this?
