Use Case - Creating a Callback Task for Missed Calls in Salesforce

Create a callback task in Salesforce for missed calls using the Nimbus Power Automate Connector.

In this scenario we demonstrate how to create a callback task in Salesforce for missed calls using the Nimbus Power Automate Connector. The callback task also gets a dynamic due date assigned.

PRECONDITIONS - SALESFORCE PREMIUM POWER AUTOMATE CONNECTOR

At this point we assume you have a Salesforce account with admin privileges.

To connect to Power Automate to your Salesforce instance, perform the steps below.

  1. Log into your Power Automate account. Within the main menu, go to Data > Connections. Click "New Connection" and select "Salesforce".
  2. When adding the connector, note that this requires a Premium Power Automate account.
    💡 Cost of this connector is outside of Luware product scope.
  3. Select your URI, and the API Version and create the connection.

☝ We highly recommend testing in a "Sandbox" or creating a new account in Salesforce to test the connection. You can delete the account permanently after testing your solution.

☝ = Notifies you about fallacies and tricky parts that help avoid problems. 🤔 = Asks and answers common questions and troubleshooting points.
❌ = Warns you of actions with irreversible / data-destructive consequence. ✅ = Intructs you to perform a certain (prerequired) action to complete a related step.
 
 

Create the Basic Flow

We start with the trigger for a call that has not been handled:

  1. Start a new "Automated Cloud Flow" with the Nimbus "When a task changes state" Trigger.
  2. Set the Trigger to the Task Event "Queue Left" to react when a caller leaves the queue. 
  3. Set the Modalities to “Audio” and the Directions to Inbound.
     
  4. Add a "Get Future Time" element to the flow and set it to:
    • Interval2
    • Time UnitDays

💡 This will create a future time from now + 2 Days ahead. Of course you can set this due date to any other interval.

Iterate Through Contacts and Accounts

  1. Add 2x a "Get records" actions from the Salesforce module in flow. The first one iterates the Contacts table, the second one iterates the Accounts table.

Change the "Get Records" fields accordingly:

Get records Contact
Get records Accounts
  • Salesforce Object TypeContacts 
  • Edit NameGet records Contacts
  • Filter Query: (MobilePhone eq '@{triggerOutputs()?['body/microsoftCallerId']}') or (Phone eq '@{triggerOutputs()?['body/microsoftCallerId']}')
  • Top Count: 1

  • Salesforce Object Type: Accounts
  • Edit Name: Get records Accounts
  • Filter Query: (Id eq '@{items('Apply_to_each')?['AccountId']}')
  • Top Count: 1

💡 The apply to each component will be added automatically to your flow. 

Create the Task

  1. Add a Salesforce "Create record" action to your flow. 
    💡 This will automatically insert a second apply to each.
  2. Create Record fields:
    • Salesforce Object TypeTasks
    • Relate To IdAccountID (from the previous step)
    • Due Date OnlyFuture time
      💡 Of course you can set more values accordingly to your use case.
