Understanding the Salesforce Approval Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

Image
The Approval Process in Salesforce is an automated sequence of steps where a record is reviewed and approved (or rejected) by designated users based on predefined conditions. This ensures compliance, proper authorization, and consistency in business operations. Key Objects of an Approval Process 1. ProcessNode (Approval Step Definition) (04b) Defines the approval steps in a process. SELECT Id, Name, DeveloperName, ProcessDefinitionId, Description FROM ProcessNode 2.

Headless action button using LWC (No Modals)

Image
  A headless quick action executes custom code in a Lightning web component. Unlike a screen action, a headless action doesn’t open a modal window. Expose invoke() as a public method for headless quick actions; the invoke() method executes every time the quick action is triggered. Return type of invoke() is void . Using async will make invoke()  execute asynchronously.  // js file import { LightningElement, api } from 'lwc'; import { ShowToastEvent } from 'lightning/platformShowToastEvent'; export default class DispatchEventHeadlessAction extends LightningElement {     @api recordId;      isExecuting = false;     @api async invoke() {           if (this.isExecuting) {           // This code uses a boolean flag to block a double execution            return;          }           this.isExecuting ...
