Finding the right prospects and clients to reach out to can be tricky; that's why Groove allows you to import people into Flows in multiple ways.
Note: Everyone you add to a Flow must already be a contact or lead in Salesforce.
In this article we'll explain:
__________________________________________________________________
Adding Contacts and Leads Directly From Your Flow
While creating the Flow:
Use the Add People option in the flow creation wizard
Anytime after the Flow has been created:
Hover over the + sign in the upper righthand corner of an existing flow to see the "add people" option.
Once you've clicked 'Add People' you'll notice the different options you have for importing your Contacts or Leads.
Search
This option is great for quickly adding someone to a Flow a la carte by doing a live search of your Salesforce records.
Simply search for the email, name, phone number, company, or title of the person/people you're looking to add to your Flow.
NOTE: By default, Groove will only select results that don't have import warnings.
Advanced Search
This is one of the most flexible and powerful ways to add contacts and leads to your Flows because it allows you to set your own custom search criteria and then save that search to be used later.
Additionally, you can associate each person you import to a related object, which will be used to relate the logged activities to, and can also be used for Related Object Merge fields.
Pro Tip - Saving your Advanced Search allows you to reuse it later or for automated import into flows.
Salesforce List View
You can use any Salesforce List View you've created or that is shared with you to import people to your flow:
First, pick the object that you want to use - Ex. Opportunities + Contacts
Then pick from the available List views for that Object - Ex. Closing this Month
Note: The columns used in this view will be inherited from the List View columns set in Salesforce
Salesforce Report
You can use any Salesforce report that you have access to, in order to import people to your flow.
First, you need to select the folder that the report is saved in from Salesforce
Then you can select the report
Note: You can find the report folder a report lives in by "saving-as" on an existing report, or looking at the report properties.
This is especially powerful if there is a report in Salesforce that continually gets updated with more contacts or leads that you want to contact. Reports can also be used to set up automatic import into flows and can even be assigned or routed based on the owner.
Flow Import Icons
Below is the list of what alerts can appear in your Flows, what they mean, and what you can do to resolve them.
See also Flow Import Rules
 | Import Blocked | This Contact or Lead cannot be imported into the flow because of an org-level or flow-level rule. |
 | Warning | This Contact or Lead may be a duplicate, may be in another flow, or has something that you should be aware of before importing them into the flow |
 | Opted Out | This person is opted out of email communication and can still be imported into the flow, but you will be prevented from emailing. |
