Before setting up your “Salesforce” trigger nodes, ensure that you have already integrated your Salesforce connection with SleekFlow. You can follow the steps in this Help Center article to complete the connection.

 

 

The “Salesforce records updated” trigger runs the flow whenever an existing record in your connected Salesforce org is updated. Use this to react to key field changes—such as stage movements on Opportunities, status changes on Cases, or profile updates on Contacts—so you can notify teams, message customers, and keep systems in sync.

Common use cases include:

  • Stage or status changes: Notify owners or customers when an Opportunity stage moves (e.g., Prospecting → Negotiation) or a Case status changes (e.g., In Progress → Closed).
  • Priority or value thresholds: Escalate when Case Priority = High or when Opportunity Amount ≥ 50,000.
  • Profile and consent updates: Sync communications preferences when Contact Email Opt‑In or Phone is updated.
