Trailhead Challenge Create a flow to streamline entry of new accounts, contacts, and opportunities.

I'm working on Trailhead Challenge to Create a flow to streamline entry of new accounts, contacts, and opportunities.

I've got a screen with:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Company Name
  • Opportunity Amount
  • Opportunity Stage

Then Record Create to Create Account:

  • Name = Company Name
  • Variable AccountId

Then Record Create to Create Contact:

  • FirstName = First Name
  • LastName = Last Name
  • AccountId = AccountID

Then Record Create to Create Opp:

  • Name = Company Name (Can i use formula for Company_Name + "-" + Last_Name?)
  • CloseDate = Flow.CurrentDate (can I use Flow.CurrentDate + 30?)
  • AccountId = AccountID
  • StageName = Prospecting
  • Amount = Opportunity_Amount

The flow saves. But when I run it and enter info, I get error:

"An unhandled fault has occurred in this flow

An unhandled fault has occurred while processing the flow. Please contact your system administrator for more information."

At first, I thought it was because my formula weren't working to concatanate company name and last name, or to add 30 days to date for close date. But even when I remove the formulas and just use the screen fields, I get the same error.

What am I doing wrong?

    I've having a problem with this challenge. when I save it I get a warning:

    Activation Warnings (1) All issues must be fixed before you can activate this flow.

    ClosingDate (formula): The formula expression is invalid: Formula result is data type (Date), incompatible with expected data type (Text).

    I don't understand why the system is expecting the Text data type for this standard date field. Has anyone come accross a similar issue?

    Many thanks!!
