OS66: Pass Data from Parent to Child FlexCard | Custom JSON Datasource | Omnistudio tutorials 2025
In this Salesforce OmniStudio tutorial, we break down how to pass data from a Parent FlexCard to a Child FlexCard using a clean, real-world example. You’ll learn exactly how parent records are displayed, how the child card gets the selected row’s data, and how a Flyout Action is used to open the child card with additional details.
This demo is perfect for anyone learning Salesforce, preparing for Salesforce Admin certification, or trying to master OmniStudio FlexCards for real business use cases. Whether you're a beginner or already building digital experiences, this guide will help you understand how {record} context, actions, and FlexCard data handling actually work.
