When attempting to add SOQL lookups inside a Waterfall workflow, you will encounter an error.

The workflow does not natively support direct SOQL queries as part of its configuration process.

Potential alternatives: • Use pre-query data transformations • Prepare data before entering the Waterfall workflow • Consider alternative query methods compatible with Waterfall's design

Note: For specific implementation details, consult the Waterfall workflow documentation.

SOQL Lookup in Waterfall Workflow

Important Note: SOQL lookups cannot be directly added inside a waterfall workflow.

Recommended Solution:

  • Place the SOQL lookup step outside the waterfall workflow
  • This ensures the lookup will run correctly and populate the necessary data

Best Practices:

  1. Create the SOQL lookup as a separate step
  2. Use the result to feed into your waterfall workflow
  3. Ensure proper data retrieval before workflow execution

For more information on workflow configuration, refer to Salesforce Flow Documentation
