How To Send Outbound Message From Flow in Salesforce
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to send Outbound Message from a Flow in Salesforce. Salesforce introduced the capability to send it from Flows in its Winter ’22 Release. Before this the only option to send outbound message was from Workflow Rules.
So, what is an Outbound Message in Salesforce?
Outbound Message is one of the declarative features of Salesforce that you can use to integrate Salesforce with other external systems. The concept is simple. Whenever a record gets created or updated in Salesforce, send a SOAP API message to an external system.
A common use case is to create/update Account records in backend systems like ERP, Order Management System or Logistics System, whenever a new Account gets created or an existing Account gets updated in Salesforce.
And the beauty of this feature is that it is a declarative configuration, that won’t take more than 10-15 minutes.

In one of the projects that I was involved in, there was a requirement to create 3 levels of parent child records. Record 1 will be parent of record 2, which in turn will be parent of record 3.
Ignorant about the full landscape of REST APIs that Salesforce provides, the team’s initial design was to make three API calls. Create record 1, get the record id, create record 2, get the record id and then create record 3.
And then they were introduced to Composite API that Salesforce provides, where we could achieve the same requirement with just one single call.
