Unfortunately, the system can't seem to find it and the video provided didn't walk through that step. I'm just not entirely sure what i'm exactly am I doing wrong. Pls help. 

#Trailhead Challenges  #Salesforce  #Apex  #Java Development  #Apple Mac and OS X

Hi everyone,

This is Shakthi. I'm a developer from India. I have 9 months of experience working on Creatio (a low-code CRM platform) and I’m transitioning into Salesforce Development. Here's my Trailblazer account that I've using on Trailhead to learn things. (https://www.salesforce.com/trailblazer/z9n4nxujjb68i4d63b)

Progress so far:

- Developer Beginner Trail 

- Build Lightning Web Components Trail

- Core Apex modules (Triggers, Async, Testing, Integration Services) 

- Apex Callouts Superbadge 

- Apex Web Services Superbadge 

I’ve also covered basic SLDS. 

Currently going through one of Coding With The Force YT playlist for Apex beginners.

My questions on the next steps in my transition journey:

1. What should I focus on next?

   - More Superbadges?

   - Start preparing for any certifications, if yes which ones are relevant to the industry today for transitioning developers?

   - Or something else?

2. Any roadmap suggestions for someone transitioning from another low-code platform into Salesforce Development?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

P.S: I have been using AI to guide myself in learning Salesforce development and in writing this very message. Wanted to mention it right off the bat.

Thank you all in advance for all the guidance and support. 

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to implement WhatsApp messaging through Salesforce Sales Engagement Cadences using WATI API integration, but I am facing issues with Cadence Step Flow execution and variable passing.

Current Architecture:

Contact Record Triggered Flow

→ Add Contact to Cadence

→ Cadence Step Flow

→ Apex Invocable Action

→ Queueable Apex

→ WATI API Callout

My goal:

When a contact reaches a cadence step, I want to automatically send a WhatsApp template message through WATI.

What I have implemented:

1. Cadence Step Flow
2. Apex Invocable Method
3. Queueable Apex with Database.AllowsCallouts
4. Named Credential for WATI
5. Formula payload generation in Flow

Current Flow Payload:

959585****|||abd|||{"name":"Rakesh"}

Invocable Apex:

public with sharing class WatiWhatsAppService {

public class Request { @InvocableVariable(required=true) public String rawInput; } @InvocableMethod( label='Send WATI WhatsApp Message' description='Cadence-compatible WhatsApp action.' ) public static void sendWA(List<Request> requests) { List<String> rawInputs = new List<String>(); for(Request req : requests){ if(String.isNotBlank(req.rawInput)){ rawInputs.add(req.rawInput); } } System.enqueueJob(new WatiQueueable(rawInputs)); } 

}

Issue:

• Cadence Step Flow is not executing automatically
• Sometimes the flow step does not launch from cadence
• Input variables like MobilePhone and FirstName were initially blank
• I fixed variable mapping using input variables
• Formula payload is now generating correctly
• Apex action now appears in flow correctly
• However, cadence screen flow execution itself is inconsistent

Questions:

1. Does Cadence Step Flow require manual user interaction from Work Queue to execute?
2. Is Cadence Step Flow suitable for backend API automation like WhatsApp sending?
3. Has anyone successfully implemented automatic WhatsApp sending from Sales Cadence?
4. Would Record Triggered Flow + Apex be a better architecture than Cadence Step Flow?
5. Are there limitations with Invocable Apex inside Cadence Step Flow?

Any guidance or recommended architecture would be very helpful.

Thanks!
