The example

In this post, I’ll be using Salesforce Flow to create the following statuses based on campaign type.

Prerequisites

I recommend you map out what status values you want to use for each campaign type as well as which statuses should be marked as default and responded before creating your flow.

Create the flow

Navigate to Setup > Process Automation > Flows and select new flow. Select Record-Triggered Flow from the wizard.

Add a Decision element to the flow

Drag and drop a decision element onto the page. This is where we will set up the logic to determine what campaign statuses to create for each campaign type.

Add create record elements to the flow

Once your decision outcomes have been created, you can add actions to create each campaign member status. Each status for the campaign will use a Create Records element. For example, if you want to create four campaign member statuses for webinars, you will need add four Create Record elements to the flow.

Connect the decision element

Connect the decision element to the first create record element and select webinar as the outcome.

Repeat for the rest of your campaign statuses

Repeat the process above by adding more create record elements to your flow for the rest of your campaign types.

Planning for Campaign Member Statuses

Before you start using campaign member statuses, think about your campaign types and which statuses you want to include for each type. For example, statuses for an event can include Invited, Registered, and Attended.

Using the Campaign Member Status Field

From a campaign’s Campaign Member Statuses related list, users can create a status, select a default status, and indicate whether the status is considered a response. Salesforce tallies response records together in the Responses in Campaign field.

Updating Campaign Member Statuses

If you plan to use campaign member status as a filtering mechanism in reporting or automation, don’t edit the available member statuses and their settings. If you change the status value or its response setting, it can cause problems where the status is in use and trigger statistics recalculation throughout your reports.

Enable Validation Status for Articles

Before you can do anything with validation statuses, the validation status field must be activated. Make sure this is ready to go!

Create a Validation Status

Notice there are two different validation statuses already in the system—Validated and Not Validated. Add a Work in Progress status for articles that are in the works, but not ready for validation.

Create and Publish an Article

So far, you’ve set up record types, page layouts, data categories, access and visibility settings, and validation statuses for Knowledge. Now that the foundation is in place, create and publish an article to test the process. Once you create your article, assign it to Ada for validation, and finally, publish it.

Validate and Publish the Article

To fully test the process, sign in as Ada, and validate and publish the article you just created.

Update the Article

Once an article is published, you can always improve or update the information as needed. To test this process, add a note to your recently published Knowledge article. This is accomplished by creating a new version of the article and adding the new text. Once it’s updated, re-publish the article.
