Salesforce custom functions

Custom functions to interact with the connected Salesforce org in order to run a flow, call an invocable action, etc.

Functions

Run a flow

This step allows you to run a named flow, provide a single input, and get direct access to a single variable output by the flow.

Create a Flow in your Salesforce org. It should have variable named input_string that is available for input. It should assign the value of a separate variable named output_string that is available for output.

Generate an Einstein prompt template response

Generates a response based on the specified prompt template and input parameters.

Getting started

Create a Connected App

Create a Connected App from the App Manager in your Salesforce org and Enable OAuth Settings.

• Redirect URI: https://oauth2.slack.com/external/auth/callback
• Scopes: full_access, refresh_token
• Click Manage Consumer Details button to copy your Client ID and Secret

Setup and run the Slack workflows

• Install the Slack CLI
• Clone the repo locally and open the project in your code editor
• Rename .env.sample to .env and update the values. The SALESFORCE_INSTANCE_DOMAINS will be your Salesforce domain name. The CLIENT_ID is the Client ID that is obtained from the Create a Connected App step above.
• In your terminal, navigate to the project folder. Use slack login to authenticate to the Slack workspace where you'd like to install the Workflow Builder steps.
• Use slack run to install the Workflow steps to your Slack workspace
• Run slack external-auth add-secret to add your app client secret
• Rerun the app with slack run. You now have a locally-running instance of the Workflow steps
• Use slack deploy to deploy the steps to the workspace
• Use slack function distribute to distribute the steps to other users in the workspace

Build a workflow

In Workflow Builder, create a new workflow and add Salesforce custom functions (local) > Run a Sync Flow from the Custom section of the step library. The flow name input should be set to the Flow API Name found in the Flow properties. The input can be whatever string value you like.
