Whyser Can you delete the object that triggered the Flow?
I have a scenario in which a department wants to leverage email-to-case functionality to trigger the creation of a custom object.
The plan is simply
Send Email -> Email forward to Email-To-Case Servicing Address -> Email-To-Case creates a Case -> Case triggers a Flow that will create custom object.
During the course of the Flow, after the custom object is created, I wanted the Flow to DELETE the trigger case that was created from Email-to-Case.
However, whenever I add a Delete Record element to the Flow after the Custom Object is created, the Flow runs into an error: ENTITY_DELETED.
How would I go about deleting the triggering Case that instantiated the Flow automatically?

For Salesforce Connect, the adapter that connects to the external system. The valid values are:
- OData—OData 2.0 adapter
- OData4—OData 4.0 adapter
- SfdcOrg—cross-org adapter
- ApexClassId—DataSource.Provider class that defines the custom adapter
created via the Apex Connector Framework
If you have oData 4.0 Adapter for Salesforce Connect missing. Please note that this is the part of the Lightning Connect which is a license provisionable feature. Raise a support case and reach out to your Account Executive team to get this enabled
Let me know if this helps, if it does, please mark this answer as best so that others facing the same issue will find this information useful. Thank you

Refer this similar scenario :-
https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=9062I000000IJtxQAG
You cannot update the record fields in an after insert trigger because the data is already updated in the database. It's simply prohibited. The only way to update anything in an after insert context is to issue new DML statements (insert/update/upsert/delete), but never do this to the records that the trigger is processing -- you're likely to create an infinite loop of updates.
In my experience, after insert triggers should only update records in objects the trigger is not processing. For example, to replicate something from an account to an opportunity, update the opportunity records in an after insert trigger on the account. But pulling data into an opportunity from the account would be a before insert trigger on the opportunity that would query the related accounts (in a single, bulkified query).

Christy Miller How to delete an account and remove it from all environments to be able to use it in a new production environment?
My account was setup by a contractor in a test environment that is no longer accessible. I need my account to be setup in production now and it is unavailable because it is used in the previous enviroment that is no longer valid. I want to remove all occurances of my account and start from scratch.
Best Answer chosen by Christy MillerSwetha (Salesforce Developers) You can edit your username in the test environment and add a number to the end of the username. This change allows you to reuse the username.
The article(https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000329530&type=1) is in context of inactive user but the same procedure can be used for active users too to free up username.
Navigate to the User object:
In Salesforce Classic: Setup | Manage Users | Users
In Lightning Experience: Gear icon | Setup | Administration | Users | Users
Edit your user record by clicking on the Edit link beside it or by clicking on the username to edit from there.
Modify the username by adding a letter or a number at the end. For example: username@force.com change to username2@force.com.
Click on Save.

Best Answer chosen by Rasmita Sahoo 11Sai Praveen (Salesforce Developers) Hi Rasmita,
As per your question the flow is autolaunched flow and we will add get record element first as shown below.
Add for loop to iterate over the list.
Create a resouce of type variable and type text and it should accept multple values as below.
Inside For loop add a assignment to add all the emails to the collection variable.
Now out side for loop add send email action and will the subject and body and emails as below.
Save the flow and activate it.
Let me know if you face any issues.
If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Gwen ONeill 9 Images or Flags
I'm trying to make our at-risk groups more visible and have been given multiple parameters. In one case they would like a flag of red,yellow, or green based on the date time frame. I created a checkbox to confirm over 180 days, over 90 days and under 30 days. I tried to make one formula to cover all 3 options, but I'm receiving an error. Looking for some suggestions... Here's the formula I'm trying to use:
IMAGE(IF( Less_than_3_months__c = True , "/img/samples/color_green.gif",""), "")+
IMAGE(IF( Over_6_Months__c = True , "/img/samples/color_red.gif",""), "")+
IMAGE(IF( Over_3_Months__c = True , "/img/samples/color_yellow.gif",""), "")
Thanks!!
IMAGE(IF( Less_than_3_months__c = True , "/img/samples/color_green.gif",""), "")+
IMAGE(IF( Over_6_Months__c = True , "/img/samples/color_red.gif",""), "")+
IMAGE(IF( Over_3_Months__c = True , "/img/samples/color_yellow.gif",""), "")

IF(Overall_Status__c = True, ISBLANK(Meeting_Notes__c)), false)
