Please refer to the list below for more detailed information on each Flow.

Location Geocoding

This flow is designed to geocode a location's address upon creation or update of the location record.

Flow Detail
Flow Label	Maica - Location Geocoding
API Name	maica__Maica_Location_Geocoding
Type	Autolaunched Flow

Flow Summary

This flow geocodes the address of a location and updates the location record with the latitude and longitude by:

• Triggering on the creation or update of a location record.

• Geocoding the address fields using an Apex action.

• Checking for errors in the geocoding process.

• Updating the location record with the geocoded latitude and longitude if no errors occur.

Flow Description

1. Start (Record-Triggered Flow):

   • The flow is triggered upon the creation or update of a location record.

   • The flow runs asynchronously after the record is saved.

   • Proceeds to geocode the address.

2. Geocode the Address (Apex Action):

   • Calls the GeocodeAddressInvocableProc Apex action to geocode the address fields.

   • Passes the address fields and the record ID as input parameters.

   • Proceeds to the decision step to check for errors.

3. Error? (Decision):

   • Checks if there was an error during the geocoding process by evaluating the errorMessage from the Geocode_the_Address action.

   • No: If no error, proceeds to update the location.

   • Yes: If an error occurred, the flow ends without updating the location.

4. Update Location (Record Update):

   • Updates the location record with the latitude and longitude values obtained from the geocoding process.

   • Ends the flow.

Location Geocoding

This trigger is designed to manage the geocoding of locations in Maica.

Detail
Load Order	1
Label	LocationGeocode_MDTM

Execution, Logic & Outcome

Execution of Trigger Logic:

The trigger logic defined in the LocationGeocode_MDTM class is executed when the trigger conditions are met. The class contains the code that manages the geocoding process for locations.

• Trigger Conditions:

  • When a new location (maica__Location__c) is created.

  • When an existing location is updated.

  • Any specific field changes that are monitored by the trigger (defined in the handler class).

Logic Explanation

1. Initialisation:

   • When a location record is created or updated, the trigger is initialised. The LocationGeocode_MDTM metadata type configuration is loaded, ensuring that the trigger is active (Active__c is true) and has the correct load order (Load_Order__c is 1.0).

2. Trigger Execution:

   • Upon initialisation, the trigger executes the logic defined in the LocationGeocode_MDTM class.

   • The class methods perform the following steps:

     • Validation: The location address data is validated to ensure it is complete and accurate.

     • Geocoding: The validated address data is converted into geographical coordinates using geocoding services.

     • Update: The location record is updated with the newly obtained geographical coordinates.

Trigger Outcome:

Once executed, the trigger ensures that each location is geocoded correctly, based on the logic defined in the handler class. This helps maintain accurate geographical data for locations.
