Manager alerted when a check fails

When a rep answers "No" to a must-pass compliance question, a flow notifies the manager with the store and the answer, as soon as it syncs.

The story

Chris · Salesforce admin · Head office

The liquor brand's responsible-service POS must be on display in every venue. Chris builds a flow from the FieldKo recipe: when a rep answers "No" to "Responsible service POS displayed?", the rep's manager is notified with the venue, the question and the answer. On Thursday at 4:12, Ben answers No at The Royal Hotel. When he syncs at 4:40, his manager gets the alert, and a replacement kit is sent the next morning.

In Salesforce

The flow runs when Ben's survey answers sync.
