Automate Address Verification using Salesforce FLOWS

If you need to verify addresses in custom objects beyond Accounts, Contacts, and Leads, or want to create a workflow to automate address verification, follow these steps using Salesforce Flows.

1. Creating a Flow

Navigate to Setup by clicking the Setup icon on the main Salesforce screen.

In the Quick Find bar, type Flow and select Flows.

Click New Flow to create a flow from scratch, or choose an available template that fits your needs.

Now you need to configure your Flow.

For example, you can define that each time a custom object is created or updated, the flow gets triggered, and the address verification is initiated. Whatever your scenario is, you need to follow the setup for creating the starting point of the Flow. Once you are finished with the configuration, click on Done.

2. Setup the Address Verification

Now you need to set up the Address Verification Workflow. Within the workflow, click the plus button to add a new element, and search for the Verify Address.

Add a Label Name and start configuring the input fields.
Set each address component including City, Country, Postal Code, State, and Street as mandatory fields by toggling the Include option on each and map the corresponding address fields from your custom object to each input value.

Click Done once the address verification setup is complete.

Click Save, name your Flow, and save it again.

3. Testing and Activating the Flow

Debug the Flow

To test your Flow, click on Debug and follow the instructions to simulate the process.
View the debug results in the Details panel on the right side of the screen to ensure the Flow operates correctly.

Activate the Flow

Once you’re satisfied with the testing results, click Activate to enable the workflow.
You’ll receive a confirmation message indicating successful activation.
