A business scenario: Robby Williams is working as a system administrator in Universal Container. Currently, he is developing a Visual Workflow and wants to create a variable to store the Account record field's values.
An SObject Variable is used to hold field values for a record of a particular object. You can use an SObject Variable as a container in the Flow to store, update, and reference field values for a record. To create an SObject Variable in your Flow, follow these instructions:
