Simplify Integration with Flow

Salesforce is meant to serve as your single source of truth for customers. So we wouldn’t be surprised if you told us your environment has multiple integrations (and we’d probably applaud you for it too.) While integrations bring tremendous value and data into your Salesforce org, setting them up can be tricky for the nondeveloper. In this session, our very own Eric Schultz (Senior Success Architect and Labs Builder) will demonstrate how you can use flow to handle both inbound and outbound integrations with ease.
