[Solved] Flow Builder Deployment Error: “We can’t find an action with the name and action type that you specified”
Last Updated September 17, 2023In this post, we will talk about the solution regarding flow deployment.
The error message, “We can’t find an action with the name and action type that you specified,” is typically thrown when you’re trying to deploy a flow in Salesforce, and there is an issue with the actions within the flow
Let me briefly mention my case first to throw more light on the cause, I was deploying a flow with a custom notification reference in it. I introduced a custom notification in the flow just to send notifications when the account status is updated.
Surely, You are going to get a simple approach to deploy it without fail.
