Before building a flow, identify the required fields for the object's records. There are two options: use Schema Builder or create a record on the object, but don't save it. Either option shows the required fields, but Schema Builder also shows system populated fields that you don't include in a flow.
To review required fields in Schema Builder, follow these steps.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Object Manager, and then select Object Manager.
- Click Schema Builder.
- Search for the object.
- Hover on the object and click the magnifying glass.
-
Filter or scan for required fields.
For example, the standard Contact object requires the Last Name field.
- To verify custom requirements, check whether your org has custom required fields or validation rules that make other fields required.
- If the object in the flow uses record types, review each record type, as requirements can differ.
