Blackthorn Events for Salesforce how-to: build a screen flow to upload and manage attendee groups

My last blog post was about implementing a CSV import feature. This blog post documents utilizing that screen flow feature to facilitate attendee group management for Blackthorn Events.

The scenario is an events center that uses Blackthorn Events and Salesforce for their day-to-day operations. Most of their event registrations are processed in their own system, but some events they host are run by partner organizations who handle attendee registration independently. In those cases the partner organization sends the event center a list of registered attendees to upload, and the event center later issues one large invoice to the partner org for attendee lodging and other charges.

Administering these attendee groups and invoicing them back to the partner organization has been difficult, and we are on a path to improve this. The Blackthorn Events data model contains an attendee group object which it automatically utilizes when multiple people are registered in a single web transaction. That object provided a nice starting point to extend to more robust attendee group management functionality.

This was a technically challenging project that turned out to be the most complex thing I've yet built with Salesforce Flow Builder. The resulting Flow leverages brand new features and overcomes difficulties of working with a managed package's objects. Note that custom automations are specifically outside of the scope of Blackthorn support, so they cannot assist if you decide to leverage this in another Blackthorn org. The tricks and lessons in this post should be applicable to other non-Blackthorn use cases as well.

A reason why it's important to note all that up front is because before building this Flow, I questioned whether it was a good idea to build. Our consulting team inherited a client environment where the existing attendee import process was to use the data import wizard to upload a list of Attendee records with a custom field called Imported Attendee marked TRUE. That boolean value activated a record-triggered flow which would create the Attendee's associated Line Item, Invoice, and Transaction records.

That system fell short largely because of the governor limit errors that staff regularly encountered. It was initially my opinion that we'd be better off improving the existing system's efficiency and implementing Apsona as a better pre-built upload tool with batch size control to mitigate the governor limit errors. But my opinion changed when I saw the added value in how a Flow could accomplish tying together the attendee group upload, group deposit, and group payoff processes. In other words it made sense to do once it addressed a larger business process need than just the upload function.

An early build paired those three functions, but still relied on a CSV upload targeting the Attendee object to salvage the existing record-triggered Flow. That actually did work but only with the batch size set to 2 and there's a 30+ second wait between batches. That poor performance was the deal-breaker which brought me around to deprecating the record-triggered flow and rebuilding its functionality within the screen flow.

The core performance issue in the record-triggered flow was that it chained together multiple write operations on managed package objects. Each of those objects trigger some rollups and other custom automation that we know about. And each of those objects also trigger some Apex code that we don't have any visibility into. But the cumulative impact of it all counts towards the flow interview limits. And I don't think Salesforce bulkifies downstream write operations which are initiated when a record-triggered flow is invoked multiple times by a bulkified write of a collection of new records.

So I took on rebuilding the record-triggered flow functionality within this screen flow, staging each object (attendee, invoice, and line item) within a collection to bulkify the database writes for better performance, and utilizing batch sizes and pause screens throughout to stay within limits. I created a custom object to target the upload to, designed the system to write related object IDs back to the custom object record to track upload progress, and built an additional branch of functionality to resume an upload using those records if needed.

Screen flow user experience

Before diving deep into how the flow is built, here's a tour of what the screen flow does and how it works for the person running it. I like to think that the simplicity of this interface belies the complexity going on behind it.

The screen flow is designed to launch from a button on the Event screen, which also passes the Event ID into a parameter.

The flow first executes a lookup for an existing attendee group. In our use case we are only ever expecting to manage one corporate group per event, so if a group is found then it is selected. If no group is found, then the user is prompted to input an Account ID to create a new group. When a new group is created, a group invoice is initialized.

The four actions that the user can take are all connected back to selected attendee group or main invoice:

Begin attendee upload

Resume attendee upload

Record group deposit

Record group payoff

Begin attendee upload

When a user selects Begin attendee upload they are first presented with a screen detailing the exact column headers that need to be in the CSV file.

The user uploads their CSV file and the next screen shows a preview of records in the file. The file may contain an Event Item ID column, but if that's not included then rows which need an event item assigned are displayed along with a dropdown menu to select an event item to assign them.

After all rows have an event item assigned, then the user selects the batch size to proceed with creating attendees end clicks next.

If the number of rows in the file exceeds the batch size then a pause screen will appear informing the user of the number of records created and prompting them to click next to continue. This will continue until the batch size is complete.

After this process is completed for attendees, it's repeated for invoices and then for line items.

Resume attendee upload

If an attendee upload is interrupted for any reason, it might result in a situation where some attendees were created with invoices but no line items, or attendees with no invoices at all, or a batch where some attendees were created and others weren't. All of those scenarios would be bad, so there is a resume attendee upload feature.

When a user selects Resume attendee upload, the flow queries for any attendee upload temp objects which are missing a corresponding attendee, invoice, or line item object. If any are found, then those records are loaded into the begin upload branch of the flow to finish processing them.

Record group deposit

Group deposits are pretty straightforward. When the user selects Record a group deposit, they are taken to a screen prompting them to record the amount of the deposit, a deposit memo, and indicate whether the deposit was paid or needs to be invoiced.

After clicking Next to continue, the flow creates an event item for the deposit then a line item attached to the invoice. If the user indicates that the deposit was paid, then the flow also creates a transaction. If the deposit was not paid then the invoice link displayed on screen can be sent to facilitate paying by credit card.

Record group payoff

Group payoffs are recorded after the event takes place, when the organization is ready to generate a final invoice for the group.

On the first screen in this interface the user is prompted to select any available deposits and attendees in the group that they would like to apply or transfer to the main invoice. A batch size selector allows for controlling the number of credits/charges to transfer in each batch.

For any deposits that are selected, the flow reverses the line item on the main invoice. It's honestly a little bit awkward that there is a line item for the deposit amount in the first place, given that it shouldn't be recognized as a charge - just as a payment credited towards their eventual final balance. But it's necessary create a deposit line item for the deposit amount in order to support invoicing deposits via Documentlink. So we set a line item for the deposit amount, back that line item out at the point when it's applied, and have our rollups at the event level set to make sure deposit line charges are excluded from invoice totals where that's necessary.

For all attendee line items that the user selects, a loop sends each one through a subflow that reverses each line item on their respective invoices and tabulates the total amount of attendee charges that needs to get added to the main group invoice.

When that process completes, the user is presented with a screen showing the total amount of attendee charges to be added, and is prompted to add the total amount of any miscellaneous charges (typically audiovisual and catering) to the invoice.

After clicking Next, the total amount due of the invoice is shown on screen, and the user is prompted to enter a payoff memo along with the total amount being collected and any amount being written off.

Screen flow architecture

This screen flow has a lot going on, and it's a little bit intimidating when you pull back and look at the whole thing. It isn't as bad as it looks though, much of this is repetitive, and I'll break it down piece-by-piece.

Flow intro

The first part of this flow loads in the Event record using the ID passed into the flow, then searches for an existing attendee group associated with the event.

If a group is found then it makes sure the group has a main group invoice (initializing one if missing) then assigns this group to the Var Group variable used later in the flow.

If no group is found, then the user is prompted to input an Account ID to create a new group. A validation check ensures that an 18 digit string starting with "001" was entered, then it creates a main group invoice billed to that account, sets the invoice on the Var Group variable, and writes that variable to the database.

With these initial steps completed, the user is then presented with four options:

Begin attendee upload

Resume attendee upload

Record group deposit

Record group payoff

Begin attendee upload

A custom object called Attendee Uploads is employed. When the user uploads a CSV file, that custom object is targeted. The uploaded records are assigned to an Uploaded attendees collection and that collection is looped through.

Each row is assigned the Event ID and the flow start timestamp is set as a batch identifier. Then the row is evaluated to determine if it has or needs an Event Item ID. Rows that do and do not need an Event ID are assigned to separate collections. This decision step also looks for the absence of the Last Name field, which if found is taken as evidence of a blank row that is filtered out and not assigned to any collection.

The next steps deal with assigning missing Event Item IDs. A Record Choice Set serves a dropdown of all of the valid event item types for the event. The user is prompted to choose an item, select the rows to apply it to, then repeat until all rows have an Event Item ID assigned. If all rows already have an Event Item ID, then these steps are skipped and the Attendee Upload objects are written to the database.

Now that the attendee uploads are in, the flow proceeds to looping through them. The first decision, which evaluates if an attendee is already associated with the upload row, only applies to resumed uploads. No attendees already exist for new uploads, so the attendee record fields are assigned in the following step and the staged attendee record is then assigned to the collection.

At this point there's a Pause Interval decision. This is where the flow evaluates if either the batch interval or the end of the batch has been reached. If it's time to pause, then a pause screen is displayed which commits the flow interview (writing attendee records in the collection to the database), the user clicks Next to continue, then the loop proceeds to staging further attendee records until either the next pause or the end of the batch. A second loop and write operation then loops through the new attendee records to stage an update batch to write attendee IDs back to the Attendee Upload records which created them, then update those Attendee Upload records in the database.

While useful for mitigating governor limits, there are drawbacks to saving work to the database mid-operation. If an error occurs or if the user simply navigates away from the flow prior to completion, the dataset they're uploading could be left in an inconsistent state. For that reason, each step where the attendees, invoices, and line items are committed to the database is accompanied by a step that updates the AT upload objects with those new IDs, and both of these write operations happen within the same flow interview with a roll back function included to help ensure the IDs tracked on the Attendee Upload object remain accurate in case an error occurs.

After the attendee creation loop is completed, there's a little bit of collection juggling done before moving on. The attendee record creation was bulkified by batching them into a collection and processing a single write operation. That's a vital practice for flow performance, but comes with the wrinkle that the newly created object IDs aren't immediately available in the flow the same way they are when objects are created individually. I get around that by using the batch identifier to empty the records out of the collection and then query the newly created records in order to reload them into the collection. It's also a nice trick for being able to reference the contact or account record that Blackthorn links with the attendee record after save.

The remainder of this branch pretty much repeats the process from attendee creation - the attendees are looped through to create invoices for them, then the invoices are looped through to create line items. At the end of it, the user is returned to the menu asking what they'd like to do next.

Resume upload

The resume upload function exists to ensure that all attendee uploads are complete and accounted for. The first step searches for any pending uploads - attendee upload records where the event ID matches and the related ID either attendee, invoice, or line item is null. If none are found, the user is simply returned to the menu. If any are found, they are looped through twice.

The first loop evaluates if the object has a related attendee but no related invoice, and for each of those records it gets the attendee record and adds it to a collection. A pause interval of 50 is built in.

The second loop evaluates if the object has a related invoice but no related line item, and for each of those records it gets the invoice record and adds it to a collection. A pause interval of 50 is built in.

Those two loops exist to patch in related object IDs to the same collections used in the Begin attendee upload branch, before incomplete attendee upload objects are passed to the Preview attendees step in the Begin upload branch. The rest of the workflow for completing an upload is identical to a new upload as the flow proceeds through the new upload branch.

Record group deposit

Record Deposit is the shortest and simplest branch of this flow. The user is presented with a screen where deposit information is entered, the flow then creates an event item, a line item (on the group invoice), and optionally a transaction record and note on the invoice. The user is then shown a confirmation screen and taken back to the menu.

Record group payoff

The Record Payoff branch ties it all together at the conclusion of an event. The first step in this branch is a query that loads in all line items associated with the attendee group. Collection filters are then applied to parse those line item records out to a deposit collection and an attendee lines collection. A screen is then presented to the user enabling them to select which of those records to proceed with.

Selected objects from each of the filtered collections are then looped through independently. In both cases a Subflow is invoked which creates an offsetting line item to effectively zero out the charge. The difference between the loops is that the deposit loop sums up the amount to display as a credit, whereas the attendee lines are tabulated to sum up a new line item amount to be added to the group invoice.

The user is then presented with a confirmation screen that states the number of line items charges transferred, the sum of those line item charges, and the deposit amount applied. A fill-in field allows the user to input additional charges (audiovisual, catering, etc.).

When the user clicks Next, the flow creates an event item and line item for the room charges, then an event item and line item for the additional charges.

Finally, the Payoff line item screen displays the total charges on the invoice minus the deposit to arrive at an invoice total due. The flow may be ended here and the Documentlink invoice link sent to collect payment. Or if payment was already submitted, then the user may toggle on Create payoff transaction and additional fields are exposed to input the payment amount, payoff memo, and writeoff amount (if applicable).

When the user clicks Next then the flow either completes if no payment was entered, or creates the payoff transaction, updates the invoice with the memo, and creates a writeoff transaction if applicable.

When this is all done the main group invoice contains multiple line items for attendee room charges, additional charges, group deposit, and writeoff amount. Transactions for the deposit and payoff are applied against these charges.

Searching for a Salesforce Advisory Partner? Look at this advice.

Preface

Salesforce has been Commander as the #1 CRM supplier for the seventh consecutive period. However, the CIO magazine reports that close to a third of all CRM systems fail. This happens because it takes a long time to determine all the benefits of Salesforce services for your business and complete the required steps for change operations.

Fortunately, some experts can help you personalize your Salesforce CRM based on your requirements. Your primary responsibility is to find a Salesforce Professional Consulting Partner.

You have a wide range of consulting companies, so you may not know which one to choose. In this post, you'll learn about the capabilities you can monitor when looking for your Salesforce Consulting Partner. You'll learn about not only the essential features of a reliable Salesforce consulting company but the red flags you need to pay attention to. In addition, you will be provided with a comprehensive checklist with questions for potential consultation partners.

Essential attributes of a trusted Salesforce consultancy.

Salesforce advisors can help you set up different blocks of a Salesforce platform, based on your business needs, using Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, AppExchange and other Salesforce clouds. Below are the key attributes you need to be aware of when searching for a Salesforce consulting firm.

Salesforce Consulting Partner Status

There are various Salesforce certifications, both on a business and specific levels. Have a look at your consultant level.

Registered

Silver

Gold

Platinum

Global Strategic

As well as being a partner, there is also Salesforce certification for individuals. For instance, WinklixTech professionals are certified as follows.

Platform Developer I

Platform Developer II

Application Builder Platform.

Salesforce Administrator

Guides you toward an optimal Salesforce outcome.

A Salesforce consulting firm reviews your business goals and identifies your company's actual requirements; analyzes the market, competitors, etc. and offers a customized solution.

Ensures that the solution is technically sound.

Salesforce consultants ensure the functionality and compatibility of a personalized Salesforce solution. This means that the project is built in a position where you can customize and adapt it.

Navigate risks according to project scope, schedule and budget.

The Senior Advisors will not only adjust the estimates if the scope changes, but will also help prioritize the scope and break it down into milestones. We call it the "partner approach" that goes well beyond the Salesforce status.

Less than one order taker and more than one partnership approach.

It is easy and relatively cheap to find large contract holders. They will follow your instructions and adjust the solution following your instructions.

But there is an underlying problem with the order approach. When you're dealing with a new software ecosystem, such as AppExchange integrations from Salesforce or Einstein AI, you might be looking for an expert that can guide you through. Yes, your consulting partner can tell you something, but an excellent Salesforce Platform Development Partner will help you navigate through, and perhaps even tailor your business processes.

Red flags when selecting Salesforce Advisory Partners.

Lack of information can take you down the wrong path when selecting a Salesforce Customization Advisor. There are critical warning signs that you should take into consideration when conducting your research.

No public customer reviews

According to Character X, consumers read an average of 7 reviews before trusting a business. No surprise at all. Customer feedback can tell you a great deal about a business and its services.

People generally leave reviews to share their personal experience of working with a company, the advantages and disadvantages, and suggest improvements, if needed. This is a good opportunity for potential customers to look at what the company can and cannot do. In addition, you can observe how a company responds to their feedback and which tone of voice is used.

Consultancy firms that use a transparent and honest approach when providing their services are pleased to provide feedback to their customers. You may find an exam section on their AppExchange pages or review websites, such as Trustpilot, Google Reviews, or Capterra platforms.

So if you don't find comments from public clients about the company, or only see good comments, it seems suspicious. This may mean that the company only wants to demonstrate its advantages, but hides its disadvantages. In any case, it is important to read the comments and form your own opinion of the company before going into it.

No formal connection to Salesforce.

To have a formal relationship with Salesforce, a company must sign up for the Salesforce Consulting Partnership Program. He is also granted advisory status and can officially provide Salesforce consulting services. However, you risk getting a bad quality. services and be dissatisfied with a final result, if a company is not an authorized consulting partner of Salesforce.

Yes, businesses can give Salesforce development services without an official connection to Salesforce, but this connection serves as security that the customer’s interests will be secured in case things go awry.

No certified individuals and no hidden development team.

A Salesforce consulting firm should be composed of professionals who are knowledgeable about how Salesforce and its related products work. All experts should have one or more Salesforce advisors confirming their competencies.

Try to avoid working with organizations that.

have a low online presence

Not to present your team on the company's Linkedin page.

are not officially connected to AppExchange.

No portfolio

It is common practice to present a portfolio of successful business cases to prospective clients. You can see different customized solutions, which may be similar to your business needs, and decide whether you want to collaborate with the company or not.

If there are no examples of previous work, most probably you will get a pig in the poke accordingly. So ask the projects that have been carried out to be supplied, to understand their professional approach and to overcome the potential challenges.

Lack of sense of cultural adequacy and communication.

You must speak the language of the consulting firm. No matter if you need help setting up Salesforce or Salesforce onboarding advice, communication should be clear and understandable. Moreover, the company needs to understand a niche market, business challenges and your personal goals. It simplifies communication and supports the achievement of desired outcomes.

Final Thoughts

There are many risks to implementing Salesforce solutions. When you approach a consulting firm, you will avoid unexpected difficulties and save time.
