SObject Collection to Text Collection
Overview
This action helps you extract text values from a collection of Salesforce records (SObjects) and create a new collection containing only those text values.
How it Helps
Imagine you have a collection of Contacts and need to create a list of their email addresses. This action lets you easily extract the "Email" field from each Contact record and create a new collection containing just the email addresses.
When to Use It
This action is ideal for:
Creating a focused list of text values from your records.
Simplifying data manipulation and extraction.
Preparing data for use in components that require text collections (e.g., picklists, multi-select lists).
Avoiding manual extraction of text values using loops or formulas.
Example
To create a collection of Account names:
Retrieve Accounts: Use a "Get Records" element to fetch a collection of Account records.
Configure the Action: Select the Account collection and specify "Name" as the field name.
Store the Text Collection: Store the output in a Text Collection variable for use in your flow.
Key Considerations
Source Collection: Ensure you have a valid collection of SObjects.
Field Name: Choose the field that contains the text values you want to extract
