Workaround for Before Record Load on existing records limitation
Hello,
TL;DR Question: Is there a workflow workaround for using Set Field Value on Before Record Load for existing records?
I know the docs say "You cannot set field values on an existing record if the Set Field Value actions execute on a Before Record Load trigger. Use the Set Field Value action with a Before Record Load trigger for new records or for setting workflow fields on new or existing records. Use a custom action to update fields on an existing record."
Can anyone point to documentation on what custom actions are and how I can use them?
