=== Dynamic URL Parameters and Filtering Using Flows ===

Screen flows can be used to automate the adding of URL parameters. The SOQL queries used previously will still need to be added to the repeatable sections within the document.

First create a new 'Screen' flow.

Add 'Get Record' elements for all of the fields you require (i.e. the core object and the fields you will use to filter). In the example below, Contact is the 'Core' object and 'Education Histories' will contain the records that will be used filter.

Within the screen, add a section component and place a data table within it (This will be used during the flow to select the records that will be filtered):

Configure the data source of the data table to come from the previously added get records element 'Education Histories':

Next, create a 'For Each' element within the flow. This will be used to combine the selected records from the previous screen.

A formula will need to be created that formats the record Id so it can be added to a URL:

Full formula:<syntaxhighlight>

"'" & {!Selected_Education_Histories.Id} & "',"

LEFT({!educationHistoryFilter}, LEN({!educationHistoryFilter}) - 1)
