Trigger Flows with Data 360 Data

A Data Cloud-triggered flow starts when conditions are met in a data model object (DMO).

Required Editions

View supported editions.
User Permissions Needed
To view, save, and activate Data Cloud-triggered flows:

Legacy Data Cloud Marketing Admin

OR

All of these permissions:

  • Manage Flow
  • View Setup
  • View All Data
  • Data Cloud User
  • Create, read, update, delete, and View All Records on Data Action Targets, Data Action Target Definitions, Data Actions, Data Action Definitions, Data Action Target Relations
  • Read on Data Model Object, Data Model Field, and Calculated Insights Object

You can use external objects created through Bring Your Own Lake (BYOL) to trigger an action. The external objects should be accelerated in order to use them in flow or data action. If you select a DMO, the flow triggers only if the DMO is mapped as part of a data stream.

Depending on the volume of data changes, the complexity of your flow, and your data stream refresh schedule, there can be delays in the processing of your Data Cloud-triggered flow. You can view a data stream's refresh history on its record page.

  1. Open the Flows list view.
    • From the Automation app, select the Flows tab.
    • From the Flows tab in any Lightning app, click the actions menu and select Open Flow.
    • From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Flows, and then select Flows.
    Note that the Automation app and Flows tab options don't require Setup access.
  2. Click New Flow, and select Start From Scratch.
  3. Select Data Cloud-Triggered Flow, and click Create.
  4. In the Start element, select the Data Cloud object and the conditions.
  5. Save and test the flow.
