🌟 Check out this article: "Automate Your Post-Deployment Steps Using Puppeteer" 🦾🤖
🙏🏼 Thanks to Mitch Spano for this explanation of how to automate common post-deployment tasks in Salesforce, focusing on activating or deactivating flows. It is pretty amazing! 🙏🏼
This process is traditionally manual and can be error-prone, but thanks to Mitch's example using Node.js, Salesforce DX (sfdx CLI), and Puppeteer, it can be automated and integrated into DevOps pipelines allowing teams to reduce risk and human intervention.
Post-deployment steps can cover items such as Site.com, Web-to-Lead, automated case user, profiles/permission sets and other settings that are either not supported in the Metadata API or are difficult to automate, diff, compare and deploy.
Puppeteer is a Node.js library that allows developers to control browsers programmatically and perform tasks and simulate user interactions with web pages. 🧑🏽💻👩🏻💻👨🏻💻🤖
The guide walks through how to implement this automation by validating command-line arguments, fetching Salesforce credentials, retrieving the flow ID, and using Puppeteer to interact with the Salesforce UI to toggle flow activation.
