Using Flow to Reset Password

Salesforce Flow is a powerful automation tool that allows admins to create and streamline business processes within the Salesforce platform. It offers endless use cases, enabling organizations to automate and optimize their operations. With Salesforce Flow, it is even possible to build admin processes, empowering both admin and non-admin users to perform these tasks efficiently. For instance, it is possible to reset password for selected users using a custom invocable action.

In this post, you can find an invocable action that lets you reset password for multiple users.

How to Use the Component

1- Install the component using the installation links below.

2- Add a new action to your flow and search for Reset Password, this is the name of the action that you installed.

3- This action can reset password for multiple users. Therefore, you should pass the user ids (as a text collection) to userIds input value.

Example

1- Add a screen with a lookup input component. This lookup component should allow selecting multiple user records.

2- Add the Reset Password action and provide the user ids. Lookup component stores the selected records as a text collection. Therefore, you can just provide the output of the lookup component. You can use another selection component like picklist with a record choice set too. In this case, you need to create a text collection and use an assignment to add ids to the collection.

At the end, your flow should look like this. This is just a simple flow to show how the action works. Don't forget to add fault paths to your flow!

Considerations

• This action works for external (community) users as well.
• Although it is a very useful action, you don't want users to reset other users' passwords. Therefore, you should build your flow carefully and give access to specific users only.
• Make sure that the users are active before passing the ids to the action.
