Verify records with a Flow

Last updated 11 Oct 2026

Optional. A way without code to verify records on any object.

A record-triggered Flow can run the Verify Address action after a save. This chapter uses the custom object from Verify addresses on a custom object.

1. Open Flows. Click New Flow. Click Record-Triggered Flow.

   In the Quick Find box, type Flows. Click Flows. Click New Flow. Flow Builder opens in a new browser tab. Under Frequently Used, click Record-Triggered Flow.

2. Set the object and the trigger.

   Setting	Value
   Object	Your object, for example Location
   Trigger the Flow When	A record is created or updated
   Condition Requirements	Custom Condition Logic Is Met

3. Add the six conditions.

   Click Add Condition for each new row. For True or False, pick the value under Global Constants.

   Row	Field	Operator	Value
   1	Address Verified	Equals	False
   2	Street	Is Null	False
   3	City	Is Null	False
   4	State	Is Null	False
   5	Zip Code	Is Null	False
   6	Address Return Code	Does Not Equal	Bad or Blank Address

4. Type the condition logic.

   The Condition Logic box sits above the conditions. Replace its value with:

   1 AND 2 AND ((3 AND 4) OR 5) AND 6Copy

   The Flow goes on when the address is not verified, Street is filled, and City and State, or Zip Code, are filled. With row 6, the Flow does not send a bad address to Smarty again and again.

5. Pick Every time a record is updated. Keep Actions and Related Records.

   Under When to Run the Flow for Updated Records, pick Every time a record is updated and meets the condition requirements. Under Optimize the Flow for, keep Actions and Related Records, the default. This Flow runs after the save.

   Leave Add Asynchronous Path off, at the bottom of the panel.

   

6. Click + under the start. Click Action. Search for Verify. Pick Verify Address.

   The list shows Verify Address, Verify Email and Verify Phone. For email addresses, pick Verify Email. For phone numbers, pick Verify Phone.

7. Type a Label. Set recordIds to the ID of the record.

   Type a Label, for example Verify. Under Set Input Values, click the recordIds box. Pick Triggering and your object, then Record ID. The box shows the value as a pill, for example Triggering Location__c > Record ID.

   

8. Click Save. Name the Flow. Click Activate.

   Type a Flow Label, for example Location Verify Address. Click Save. Click Activate.

9. Test the Flow with a new record.

   Make a record with a US address. Save. Wait a few seconds. Reload the page. The fields show the result. The check uses one lookup.
