Add an Action to Update the Opportunity

Update the Opportunity with the Discount and Finish the Flow

Once the flow has determined which discount to apply, it needs to return that information back to the opportunity so that the sales rep knows how much of a discount to offer the customer. Let’s update the opportunity with the value of the discount variable by using an Update Records element.

In an Update Records element, the flow does two things. First, it looks up one or more Salesforce records by using criteria. Second, it updates one or more of the record’s fields. The Update Records element updates every record that meets the criteria.

Here, the flow finds an opportunity record whose ID matches the flow variable OpportunityId. Remember, that’s where you stored the ID of the opportunity that triggered the flow. Because IDs are unique, the flow only updates one opportunity. Then it sets the opportunity’s Discount Percentage field to the value of the Discount variable.
