Repeater and Loops in Salesforce Screen Flow | Salesforce Administrator
IIn this video (Episode 49 – Part 3), we build a Screen Flow that uses the Repeater component to create and update multiple Contacts at once—all on a single screen. You’ll see how to prepopulate existing contacts, edit inline, add new rows, then loop through the repeater and upsert everything in one bulk-safe operation.

🎯 Perfect for:
Admins & Developers building automation without code
Anyone preparing for the Salesforce Administrator Certification
Salesforce Admins who want to level up and think like Developers
📌 What You’ll Learn:
🧩 Repeater Basics
Configure a Repeater with Name, Title, Email, and Business Phone.
Set a data source (Get Existing Contacts) and default values so existing records pre-fill.
🔁 Looping Repeater Data
Why Transform can’t handle repeater data—and when to Loop.
Use All Items (added, prepopulated, deleted) or target specific buckets.
🧱 Record Variables & Collections
Map the Current Item from Loop into a record variable (CurrentContact).
Add it to a record collection (NewAndChangedContacts) for one-shot DML.
🆙 Upsert (Create + Update)
Use Create Records with “Update existing records” enabled.
Identify existing rows by Record ID to avoid duplicates.
🧠 Best Practices
Get data before the loop; commit after the loop.
Keep flows bulk-safe and governor-limit friendly.
